Lyrics

They (A)built a rol ler coast er and a beach in the back yard, drove cat tle through the cit y and messed up the bou le vard.

They took me back in time when we went to that mu se um.

They built fif ty foot tree house ro bots, but still you did n’t see ’em!

Those boys are (D)e

vil!

Their cra zy she nan i gans cause me all kinds of dis (A)tress.

Those boys are (E)e vil!

Sing it (D)with me, E V I L B O Y S.

I (A)know you think they’re saints, but Mom, I’m here to tell.

Those B O Y S, they’re just E V I L!

Those boys are (D)e

vil.

They’re mak in’ me feel like my head’s in a hy draul ic (A)press.

And I don’t feel too good!

Those boys are (E)e

vil!

Ev ’ry (D)bod y, E V I L B O Y S.

E V I L B O Y S.

That’s right, those (D)boys are (A)e vil lit tle boys!
