Why do all the rude boys on the bus
                      G
Find it fun to make a fuss of anyone

A little bit dissimilar

[Verse]
D
Why can't they just leave us all alone
                        G
And allow each to their own devices
                              D
Even if they're unfamiliar to you

[Chorus]
             A
And they say why'd you wanna dress like that son
      D                                      A
I say I just wanna have some fun if that's alright with you
                              D
I'd really rather not have to talk to you

[Chorus]
             A
And they say why'd you wanna dress like that son
      D                                      A
I say I just wanna have some fun if that's alright with you
                              D
I'd really rather not have to talk to you

You sit there with your music belling out
                          G
So you have to scream and shout so loud

Why you so busy hating

[Verse]
D
A little old lady shrinks in front of you
                             G
Whilst you're busy screaming black and blue
                             D
It's really intimidating for her

[Chorus]
             A
And they say why'd you wanna dress like that son
      D                                      A
I say I just wanna have some fun if that's alright with you
                              D
I'd really rather not have to talk to you

[Chorus]
             A
And they say why'd you wanna dress like that son
      D                                      A
I say I just wanna have some fun if that's alright with you
                              D
I'd really rather not have to talk to you

There's a fire inside you
              G                  C
Kindly put it out, kindly put it out
   A#                    F
Oh boy, there's a fire inside you
              C                  G
Kindly put it out, kindly put it out

[Verse]
D
Y'always claim we're disrespecting you
                                G
As if you're generous with your R-E-S-P-ECT for us

It's something you neglect

[Verse]
D
Why can't all the good folk make a stand
                              G
And bring an end to all their happy slaps
                                               D
They can be the trees and we will be the lumberjacks

[Chorus]
             A
And they say why'd you wanna dress like that son
      D                                      A
I say I just wanna have some fun if that's alright with you
                              D
I'd really rather not have to talk to you

And they say why'd you wanna dress like that son
      D                                      A
I say I just wanna have some fun if that's alright with you
                              D
I'd really rather not have to talk to you

[Post-Chorus]
             A                           D
And they say why do you wanna dress like that son
                    A                             D
And I say leave me alone, why can't you leave me alone
             A                           D
And they say why do you wanna dress like that son
                    A                             D
And I say leave me alone, why can't you leave me alone
