I Want to Be Bad Songtext
von Helen Kane

To be or not to be, that is not the question
I decided long ago to be
With me, it′s what to be
Now, make me some suggestions
Good or bad, which is the best for me?
When you're after fun and laughter, this aggravates you
Some reformers say a warmer climate awaits you

If it′s naughty to rouge your lips
Shake your shoulders and shake your hips
Let a lady confess, I want to be bad

If it's naughty to vamp the men
Sleep each morning 'till after ten
Then the answer is yes, I want to be bad


This thing of being a good little goodie is all very well
What can you do when you′re loaded with plenty of health and vigor?

When you′re learning what lips are for
And it's naughty to ask for more
Let a lady confess, I want to be bad

Oh, if it′s naughty to rouge your lips
Shake your shoulders, shake your hips
Then let a lady confess, I want to be bad
Boop-boop-a-doop!

And if it's naughty to vamp the men
Sleep each morning ′till after ten
Then the answer is yes, I want to be bad

Nobody cares just how blue and how lonesome I am
If I have troubles and laugh, why, they don't give a damsel credit


If it′s wrong to let someone take just a little kiss by mistake
Let a lady confess, I want to be ba-da-da-da-da-da
Bad!
