Mötley Crüe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listening to the teacher rap-just ain't my bag
When two bells ring you know it's my cue
Gonna meet the boys on floor number 2
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Checkin' out the halls makin' sure the coast is clear
Lookin' in the stalls-nah, there ain't nobody here
My buddies Sixx, Mick & Tom
To get caught would surely be the death of us all
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school Put me to work the school
book store
Check-out counter and I got bored
Teacher was lookin' for me all around
Two hours later you know where I was found
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
One more time
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
In "Smokin' in the Boys' Room" by Motley Crue, the lyrics describe a group of rebellious teenagers who refuse to comply with the strict rules enforced by their teachers at school. The song begins with the singer sitting in class and feeling bored and uninterested in the teacher's lecture. He is eager to leave and meet his friends on the second floor, where they can smoke and hang out without any interruptions.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Smokin' in the boys' room" multiple times, emphasizing the importance of this activity to these teenagers. It is a symbol of their defiance and rebellion against authority figures, as smoking is not allowed in school. The line "Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules" further emphasizes this rebellious attitude.
The second verse describes the teenagers checking the hallways to make sure no one is around before they start smoking. They mention their friends Sixx, Mick, and Tom, who are all involved in this activity with them. The line "To get caught would surely be the death of us all" shows the sense of danger and excitement that comes with breaking the rules.
The final verse describes the singer being assigned to work at the school book store, but getting bored and deciding to smoke instead. The line "Teacher was lookin' for me all around" highlights the fear of getting caught, but also the exhilaration of being able to rebel against the rules.
Overall, "Smokin' in the Boys' Room" is a song about teenage rebellion and the desire to break free from strict rules and authority figures. It captures the feeling of excitement and danger that comes with breaking these rules and the bond that comes from participating in such activities with friends.

I was 16 when it first came out in 1974 by Brownsville Station. I loved it then and still love it nearly a half-century later!
