[Intro]
DJ Larry D
Scratch it up, scratch it up
DJ Larry D
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
He rolled in late with a busted grin
Mismatched shoes and a sneer on his chin
Backpack full of bad ideas
Smells like trouble and cafeteria tears
Mom says "stand up straight"
He says "I do what I want, babe"
He got a face like a lost drum kit
And a look that says, "I might quit"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, hold up
What you gonna do?
He’s got a bruise on his pride
And a worm in his shoe
Hold up, hold up
Count to ten
He keeps coming back
Like a bad little hymn
[Chorus]
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
He’s a joke, he’s a mess
But he hits like a wrecking press
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
Put it on repeat
Put it on repeat
[Verse 2]
He stole a glance at the principal’s door
A sticker on his shirt said "I want more"
Lunch tray slammed like a prison gate
He laughed so hard he bit his own fate
Got no plan, got no crown
Still he turns the whole room upside down
Everybody says "man, grow up"
He says "nah, I’m just built too tough"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, hold up
Hear that sound?
He’s the class clown king
Of the underground
Hold up, hold up
Look alive
He’s one bad habit
And he’s still alive
[Chorus]
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
He’s a joke, he’s a mess
But he hits like a wrecking press
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
Put it on repeat
Put it on repeat
[Bridge]
Hands up, hands up
Let him through
He’s got chaos in his pocket
And a grin too rude
Hands up, hands up
Say his name
Larry D in the front
And the whole place shakes
[Breakdown]
Dirtbag!
Dirtbag!
Teenage dirtbag!
Dirtbag!
Dirtbag!
Teenage dirtbag!
Go!
[Final Chorus]
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
He’s a joke, he’s a mess
But he hits like a wrecking press
Teenage dirtbag
(Teenage dirtbag)
Put it on repeat
Put it on repeat
[Outro]
DJ Larry D
Scratch it up, scratch it up
Teenage dirtbag
Again
Again
