[Chorus]
Somebody had to set a bad example
Teach all the prim and propers what not to do
Nobody 'round here wants to ramble
What the hell that's what I was born to do
[Verse 1]

Teach all the prim and propers what not to do

Nobody 'round here wants to ramble

Somebody had to set a bad example
Teach all the prim and propers what not to do
Nobody 'round here wants to ramble
What the hell that's what I was born to do
I said what the hell that's what I was born to do
