[Verse 1]
Well, Okie's in the pokie, doin' lots of time
Okie's in the pokie for committin' a crime
Sheriff caught him out with Jezebel
He threw poor Okie in the county jail
He didn't know the custom was a-talking to her pa
Okie didn't know he was a breakin' the law
He just up and took her across the line
Okie's in the pokie, doin' lots of time
[Chorus]
Bad boy
[Verse 2]
Well, Okie got caught at a dance one night
They booked him on a charge of startin' a fight
Somebody called eight-nine-one-naught
And that's how poor Okie got caught
He thought he was right, but he must have been wrong
Now Okie's in the pokie, just a singin' a song
Jezebel said, she was his teenage queen
Okie's in the pokie, wearin' jailhouse jeans
[Chorus]
Bad boy
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Well, Okie got caught at a dance one night
They booked him on a charge of startin' a fight
Somebody called eight-nine-one-naught
And that's how poor Okie got caught
He thought he was right, but he must have been wrong
'Cause Okie's in the pokie, just a singin' a song
Jezebel said, she was his teenage queen
Now Okie's in the pokie, wearin' jailhouse jeans
[Chorus]
Bad boy
[Verse 1]
Well, Okie's in the pokie, doin' lots of time

Okie didn't know he was a breakin' the law
He just up and took her across the line
Now Okie's in the pokie, doin' lots of time
[Chorus]
Bad boy
[Outro]
He's a bad boy
He's a bad boy
