Lyrics[]
Chuck E.: Skip de skip, (Huh!) up the road
Off to school you go
"Don't you be a bad boy Johnny
Don't you slip up
Or play the fool"
"Oh no Ma, Oh no Da
I'll be your golden boy
I will obey ev'ry golden rule"
Chuck E. and Jasper: Get told by the teacher
Not to day-dream
Told by my mother
Chuck E.: Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good, be good (Others: Johnny)
Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good (Others: Johnny)
Be good, be good
Chuck E.: Are you gonna play football this year, John?
Jasper: No!
Chuck E.: No? Oh, well you must be gonna play Cricket this year, then.
Jasper: What's Cricket? No! No! No!
Chuck E.: Haha... Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, but I like you! So tell me. What kind of a boy are you, John?
Chuck E. and Jasper: I only like dreaming
All the day long
Where no one is screaming
Chuck E.: Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good, be good (Others: Johnny)
Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good (Others: Johnny)
Be good, be good
(Guitar solo)
Jasper: Oh, yeah! Got by Steinberger. The name for his guitar without a headstock.
Chuck E. and Jasper: I only like dreaming
All the day long
Where no one is screaming
(Organ solo)
Chuck E.: Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good, be good (Others: Johnny)
Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good (Others: Johnny)
Be good, be good
(Chuck E. giggles)
Johnnyyyyyy...! (giggles)
