Where you goin' With your shoes undone Throwin' rocks Makin' fun of everyone Little man You'll make a big mistake Unless you change your way Stayin' out late Every night Chasin' after streetcars And getting' into fights Yeah Son you're bound To break your mama's heart Unless you change your way All the teachers At the school there They know you well 'Cause you're always The worst one You're always Playin' the fool I can tell What's the matter With you little guy Don't you know Take my advice Before you do Somethin' bad You'd better Think about it twice You're sure to end up On the shady side Unless you Change Your Way
