Megan Hilty - Let's Be Bad
40
Copied!
When we're feeling down and low
Then our favorite word is no
'Cause it points the way to go
Let's be bad
Who knows what will come tomorrow?
Neighbor, lose the sauce and sorrow
Here's some sugar you can borrow
Let's be bad
Don't want to be boring
Our twenties are roaring
Let's punish the flooring
Yeah drummer man, do what you can
Tonight the (whoo!) will hit the fan!
If you need some more enticing
Here's a girl with twice the spicing
We're the cake, but she's the icing!
Let's be bad
Let's be bad
If you say something is taboo
Well, that's the thing I want to do
Do it till we're black and blue
Let's be bad
Guns and gangsters suit me fine
Al Capone is a buddy of mine
He's my big-shot valentine
Let's be bad
If spirits are sagging
If feet are 'a dragging
Fall off of that wagon
The piano hums to the bass and drums
And I'll be dancing when Hoover comes
Don't care if you've tied the knot
Most folks want what they ain't got
Melt the ice, some like it hot
Let's be bad
Here's my whistle, make it "wetter."
Let me wear that scarlet letter
When I'm bad I'm even better
Let's be bad
Say "bye-bye, propriety!"
No polite society
Give me notoriety!
Let's be bad
Bring on the vices!
Don't care what the price is!
I'll add the right spices
When the stand-up bass slaps you in the face
Well, it ain't my husband I'll embrace
I can't see the use in waiting
Your lips are intoxicating
Do my hips need some translating?
Let's be bad
If I drown in bathtub gin
Notify my next of kin
They might grieve, or might jump in!
Let's be bad
Who wants plays and O'Neill dramas?
Gershwin is the cat's pajamas!
I'm the queen of the red-hot mamas!
Let's be bad
Each crook and G-man
Each cop and he-man
Just stick with me, man!
Every joint's a juke with my red-hot uke
And just like Judas once said to Luke
Here's the key for my ignition
Hit the gas to my transmission!
When you hear the things I'm wishing'
You won't offer opposition!
Let's prohibit Prohibition!
Let's be bad!
Some like it hot, and that ain't bad!
Then our favorite word is no
'Cause it points the way to go
Let's be bad
Who knows what will come tomorrow?
