DWhy do all the rude boys on the bus
Find it fun to make a Gfuss of anyone
A little bit dissimilar

DWhy can't they just leave us all alone
And allow each to their Gown devices
Even if they're unfamiliar to Dyou
[Chorus]
And they say Awhy'd you wanna dress like that son
I say DI just wanna have some fun if that's alAright with you
I'd really rather not have to Dtalk to you
