Unruly boys who will not grow up
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls who will not settle down
They must be taken in hand
A crack on the head is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head is what you get for asking
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Unruly boys who will not grow up
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls who will not settle down
They must be taken in hand
A crack on the head is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head is what you get for asking
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
No, a crack on the head is what you get not for asking
And a crack on the head is what you get for asking
A crack on the head is just what you get
Why? Because of who you are
And a crack on the head is just what you get
Why? Because of what you are
A crack on the head
Because of these things you said
And you said, the things you did
Unruly boys who will not grow
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls who will not grow
They must be taken in hand
Ah, na-na-da-da, na-na-da-da
Oh-no, no, no
Na-na-da-da, na-na-da-da
Oh-no, no, no
No, no, no, no
