Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Do the thing that's right
And you'll do nothing wrong
Life will be so nice, you'll be in paradise
I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
[Verse 3]
So listen boys and girls, you need not be blue
Life is what you make of it, it all depends on you
I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
So oh, boys and girls, this is my story
And I have all of my glory
I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
So oh oh, boys and girls, this is my story
And I add all of my glory
I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent
[Verse 8]
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile
[Verse 9]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
