Standin' on the corner, swingin' my chain Along came a copper and he took my name He put his dirty maulers on my long drape coat And I whipped out my razor and I slit his throat
(Chorus:) Teddy boy boogie, a-boogedy-boogedy-boo Teddy boy boogie, a-boogedy-boogedy-boo Ah-aah-aah-ahh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh Teddy boy boogie-boogie, boogedy-boogedy-boo
Well, I'm a teddy boy 'cause that's the life I choose I wear a drape jacket and blue suede shoes I smoke a big cigar and I dig the local hop Saturday night I see my baby dancin' to the bop
(Chorus) One night I was out on a chicken run Gettin' my kicks and havin' some fun A cop car came up from behind So I whipped out my razor and I changed his mind
