I Want To Be Evil Lyrics - The Real... Eartha Kitt - Eartha Kitt

I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap, 

I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope 

(I've petted stray dogs, and I never mope) 

My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender 

But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender 

I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer, 

(I've been named Miss Perseverance year after year,) 

And I'm the person to whom they say, "Your sweet, My Dear." 

The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass, 

And the closest I've been to a bar, is at ballet class. 

Prim and proper, the girl who's never been cased, 

I'm tired of being pure and not chased. 

Like something that seeks it's level 

I wanna go to the devil.

Refrain 

I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks 

I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks 

I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies 

I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies 

I want to wake up in the morning 

with that dark brown taste 

I want to see some dissipation in my face 

I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad 

But more that that I wanna be bad 

I wanna be evil, and trump an ace, 

Just to see my partner's face. 

I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel 

I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool 

And in the theatre 

I want to change my seat 

Just so I can step on 

Everybody's feet 

Photos 

I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies 

I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries 

I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze 

(I want to be horrid, I want to make news) 

And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose 

I wanna be evil, little evil me 

Just as mean and evil as I can be
