I Wanna Be Bad - 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 and 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 dam-

Sel 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!
