[chorus]
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
The menace in me's spilled paint all over the couch
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
I swear my parents are nothing short of a grouch

I'm up and down from the crack of dawn
I cause ruckus wherever I go
I leave my lights, and the TV and the water and the music turned on
Been saying 'no sir,' all day to dad
Said 'screw you' to neighbors
Been driving everyone nuts
Screaming at the top of my lungs

[chorus]
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
Walking up the stairwell up to the bed in my room
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
Little does my mom know that I've stolen her perfume

I've had this prank stuck in my mind a while
I've been tempted day and night to pull
Lighting up cherry bombs and tossing them in the pool
Social worker come for the city
Come and say that they will fix me
I chase them out with a water submachine

[chorus]
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
Ditch out on school and laugh at church pastors
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
Satan envies me, because I'm worse

I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
Know every punishment like the back of my hand
I'm gonna have a time out for bad behavior
'Cause I'm known and feared throughout the land
