Chorus: When were feeling down and low
When our favorite word is no
Cause it points the way to go
Lets be bad
Who knows what will come tomorrow
Labor loose to sauce and sorrow
Heres some sugar you can borrow
Lets be bad
Dont wanna be boring
Our twenties are roaring
Lets manage the floor ring
Yeah drummer man
Do what you can
To wag the hoo will hit the fan
If you need some more enticing
Heres the girl with twice the spicing
Were the cake but shes the icing
Lets be bad
Lets be bad
Marilyn: If you say something is taboo
Well thats the thing I wanna do
Do it till were black and blue
Lets be bad
Guns and gangsters suit me fine
Al Capone is a buddy of mine
Hes my big shot valentine
Lets be bad
His spirits are saggin
His feet are a draggin
Fall off of that wagon
The piano hums to the bass and drums
And Ill be dancing when Hoover comes
Dont care if youve tied the knot
Most folks want what they aint got
Melt the ice, some like it hot
Lets be bad
Heres my whistle make it wetter
Let me wear that scarlet letter
When Im bad Im even better
Lets be bad
Say bye bye propriety
No polite society
Give me notoriety
Lets be bad
Bring on the vices
Dont care what the price is
Ill add the right spices
When the stand up bass
Slaps you in the face
Well it aint my husband Ill embrace
I cant see the use in waiting
Your lips are intoxicating
Do my hips need some translating
Lets be bad
If I drown in baths of gin
Notify my next of kin
They might grieve or might jump in
Lets be bad
Who wants plays and ONeill dramas
Gershwin is the cats pajamas
Im the queen of the red hot mamas
Lets be bad
Each crook and G Man
Is poppin He-man
Just stick with me man
If he tried to juke
With my red hot yuke
And just like Judas once said to Luke
Heres the key for my ignition
Hit the gas to my transmission
When you hear the things im wishing
You wont offer opposition
Lets prohibit prohibition
Lets be bad
Some like it hot and that aint bad
