Lyrics

He's just too good-natured, and
He's got too much money, and He's got too many girlfriends (I'm jealous, that's all)
Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing
He's got too many girlfriends He thinks he owns this city He over speeds and he never Gets pulled over
Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing
He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands Stood at the urinal He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands And I'm gonna kill him
Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no oh no
Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing
He's just too good looking... He's just too good looking... He's just too good looking... And... And... And...
Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing
