The Rebel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They treat me like a savage On me they took advantage When I was young and growing up in town All o' them badjohns used to slap me down Kicked me and all them stuff Give me some big, big cuff I really grew up rough and tough [Chorus] Now I'm a rebel I seeking meh revenge in any kind o' way I'm a devil I don't laugh, I don't smile, I don't play Anytime we meet, man-to-man It's blood and sand! [Verse 2] They really think I forget How I get so much clouted They used to bluff me when I leaving school Take off meh cap and tap me like a fool While they were in their glee I was in misery Like any Good Friday bobolee [Chorus] Now I'm a rebel I seeking meh revenge in any kind o' way I'm a devil I don't laugh, I don't smile, I don't play Anytime we meet, man-to-man It's blood and sand! [Verse 3] All I could do was cry, cry And go home with a black eye When I was twelve I was a laughing stock Known as a pappy-show from block to block Always, always in a fix Whenever they do their tricks I'm always getting innocent licks [Chorus] Now I'm a rebel I seeking my revenge in any kind o' way I'm a devil I don't laugh, I don't smile, I don't play Anytime we meet, man-to-man It's blood and sand! [Verse 4] Once my schoolmaster told me He wish police could hold me When I was expelled I was left to roam Put out from school, also put out from home That's why I want to meet Them badjohns on the street To show them how revenge is sweet [Chorus] I am a rebel I seeking my revenge in any kind o' way I'm a devil I don't laugh, I don't smile, I don't play Anytime we meet, man-to-man It's blood and sand!
