Chorus
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, you're my paperboy
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, you're my paperboy
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, you're my paperboy
I really wanna tell you 'bout my paperboy
How he rocks his two tone blue suede shoes
And I really really like what he rides here on his bike
And brings me very good news
Yes he always brings me very good news!
Daddy always told me never trust an altar boy
Don't let no patrol boy take you to school
And said you better watch out for a real boy scout
But my paperboy, he is cool
Yes, my paperboy
Bridge
He's a cool James Dean with Saturday delivery
Here's the scene: he's gonna knock, I'm gonna let him in
I can't wait 'til he comes around my block again
Repeat Chorus
So save up your nickel and save up your dime
Let a paperboy show you a good time
If it lands in the bushes or far from the door
Tomorrow he'll be back for more
He always comes back for more
Repeat Bridge
