Lyrics
To be or not to be
That is not the question
I decided long ago to be
With me it's what to be
Make me some suggestions
Good or bad, which is the best for me
If you're after
Fun and laughter
This aggravates you
Some reformers
Says a warmer
Climate awaits you
If it's naughty to rouge your lips
Shake your shoulders and twist your hips
Let a lady confess, I wanna be bad
If it's naughty to vamp the men
Sleep each morning till after ten
Then the answer is yes, I wanna be bad
This thing of being a good little goody is all very well
What can you do when you're loaded with plenty of health and vigour
When you're learning what lips are for
If it's naughty to ask for more
Let a lady confess, I wanna be bad
If it's naughty to rouge your lips
Shake your shoulders and twist your hips
Let a lady confess, I wanna be bad
And if it's naughty to vamp the men
Sleep each morning till after ten
Then the answer is yes, I wanna be bad
I've made my mind up to wind up by having a barrel of fun
What do I care if they call me a son of a gun... smiths daughter
If it's wrong to let someone take
Just a little teeny kiss by mistake
Let a lady confess, I wanna be bad
While all around me they tell me how terribly naughty I am
Nobody's carin' and nobody's givin a damn self credit
If it's wrong to let someone take
A kiss or two just for friendships sake
Let a lady confess, I wanna be bad
