E
My granny, she said I was a hooligan
Running 'round like a fool again
I went down to the candy store
If I had a nickel, I'd buy some more
        A        G       E
And I'm oh so sad, yeah, oh so bad
   Bm              G
So sad, but it's true
 D                E
Baby, what can I do?

My mama, she said I was a black sheep
My baby, she said I was a creep
And I'm oh so sad, yeah, oh so bad
So sad, but it's true
Baby, what can I do?

         A              G
I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame
E
Can't even spell my name
A                                 E
Dropped out of school when I was 22
 F#               B
What can I do to satisfy you?

Chorus:
       E
I'm a hooligan
Won't go to school again
I'm a hooligan
Won't go to school again, won't go, no

I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame
Can't even spell my name
Dropped out of school when I was 22
What can I do to satisfy you?

Chorus:
I'm a hooligan (Yeah)
Won't go to school again
(I mean you know how cool I am)
I'm a hooligan (I am a hooligan)
Won't go to school again, won't go, no

[Chorus]
I'm a hooligan
(I mean like I'm so bad)
Won't go to school again (Yeah, ha, ha)
I'm a hooligan
(And like every chick in town loves me)
Won't go to school again, won't go, no
(Nobody's gonna pull me down)
