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.

Ivy
If you say something is taboo,
Well, thats 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 whetter.
Let me wear that scarlet letter.
When i´m bad i´m even better.
Let´s be bad.

Ivy
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 sound of 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 baths of 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 poppin´ he man
Just stick with me man!
If he joins to juke with my red-hot yuke,
Then 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!
