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!
