| Walk in through the gates |
| Like I own this place |
| In a lot of ways I do-o-o |
| If you’re in my space |
| Get out of my face |
| Or you’ll get a taste of what I do |
| So it’s back to school |
| Back to playing cool |
| Back to breaking rules |
| Beating up the fools who let me get away with it |
| And I always get away with it |
| Been skipping on thin ice, all my life |
| Do things and I don’t think twice |
| 'Cause it, don’t pay to be nice |
| It don’t pay to be nice |
| (Na na na na) |
| Dancing on thin ice, look in my eyes |
| Can’t tell if I’m telling you lies |
| 'Cause it, don’t pay to be nice |
| It don’t pay to be nice |
| Na-na-na-na-nice |
| How am I to blame |
| For causing people pain? |
| It’s written in my name, it’s what I do |
| Never gonna stop |
| So gimme what you got |
| If it’s not a lot then I’ll see you |
| Later after school |
| I’ll be breaking rules |
| I’ll be playing cool |
| Beating up the fools, who let me get away with it |
| And I always get away with it |
| Been skipping on thin ice, all my life |
| Do things and I don’t think twice |
| 'Cause it, don’t pay to be nice |
| It don’t pay to be nice |
| (Na na na na) |
| Dancing on thin ice, look in my eyes |
| Can’t tell if I’m telling you lies |
| 'Cause it, don’t pay to be nice |
| It don’t pay to be nice |
| Na-na-na-na-nice |
| If I’m on the Naughty List |
| I’m gonna be the naughtiest |
| Santa, put me on the Naughty List |
| So, I’m gonna be the naughtiest |
| If I’m on the Naughty List |
| I’m gonna be the naughtiest |
| Santa, put me on the Naughty List |
| So, I’m gonna be the naughtiest |
| Been skipping on thin ice, all my life |
| Do things and I don’t think twice |
| 'Cause it, don’t pay to be nice |
| It don’t pay to be nice |
| (Na na na na) |
| Dancing on thin ice, look in my eyes |
| Can’t tell if I’m telling you lies |
| 'Cause it, don’t pay to be nice |
| It don’t pay to be nice |
