Lyrics
(I'm not a juvenile delinquent)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile delinquent
Do the thing that's right
You do nothing wrong
Life will be so nice
Be in paradise
I know. . .ow. . .ow . . .ow
Because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
So listen boys and girls
You need not be cool
Life is what you make it
It all depends on you
I know. . .ow. . .ow. . .ow
Because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
It's easy to be good
It's hard to be bad
Stay out of trouble
And you'll be glad
Take this tip from me
And you will see
How happy you will be
Boys and girls
This is my story
And I have
All of my glory
And I know. . .ow. . .ow. . .ow
Because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
It's easy to be good
It's hard to be bad
Stay out of trouble
And you'll be glad
Take this tip from me
And you will see
How happy you will be
Boys and girls
This is my story
And I have
All of my glory
And I know. . .ow. . .ow. . .ow
Because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
