Love it - one of my very favourite songs of the 20's and the BEST version, beautifully executed by JH! Male singers with these lyrics still sounds a little odd but was apparently perfectly normal back in the 20's.
I know the bits of driving are from "Driving Around New York City, (aka Speedy)" but what is the name of the film with the people dancing? Does anyone know?
If its naughty to rouge your lips,
Shake your shoulders,
and Twist your Hips.
Let a lady Confess, I want to be bad.
If its naughty to Vamp the Men,
Sleep each morning til after ten,
Then the answer is, Yes I want to be bad
The thing of being a good little goodie is all very well
What can you do if you're loaded with plenty of hell-
Th- and vigor?
When you're learning what lips are for
If its naughty to ask for more
Let a Lady confess,
I want to be Bad!
