    That's the basic song-here are the rest of the words

   Verse 2:
        I've got a bad reputation in this town

        They call me a loser a no good boozer
        and tell me I act like a clown

  Break 2:
        Now if you don't like my face and style
        don't waste time tryin' to tell me how
        just show me and get your own bad reputation
  Bridge:
        
  Repeat 2nd break and fade out
