I Want To Be Bad Lyrics & Chords By Zelma O'neal

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?    
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 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!    
If it's naughty to rouge your lips,  
Shake your shoulders and twist your hips,  
Then, let a lady confess, I want to be bad!    
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! 
I've made my mind up to wind up by having a bale of fun  
What do I care if they call me a son of a gun-  
Smith's daughter        
If it's wrong to let someone take, 
Just a little kiss by mistake, 
Let a lady confess, I want to be bad!
While all around me they tell me how terribly naughty I am, 
If I have troubles and laugh, why they don't give a dam-  
Sel credit.    
If it's wrong to let someone take, 
A kiss or two just for friendship's sake, 
Let a lady confess, I want to be bad
