Grimly fiendish
Plays the game that never pays
Sing out loud but never prayed
Grimly fiendish
Wears a coat that’s black and long
He doesn’t know that it’s all wrong
Simply fiendish
A child caught in a grown up world
No lies convince the court
Once a week I could be
Found on the faces all the frowns
Hide and seek tried so hard
To justify that crime could pay
Just for today
Bad lad bad boy
Let me get the story straight
You never gave me a break
It’s a case of give and take
You didn’t make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dream
Grimly fiendish
We’ll send you just where you belong
Where the children can’t be found
Bad lad bad boy
Hide and seek tried so hard
To justify that crime could pay
Just for today
Bad lad bad boy
