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 goody 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 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!
