Let's Be Bad Lyrics - Leon Russell

Chorus:When we're feeling down and low 

When our favorite word is no 

Cause it points the way to go 

Let's 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 

Tonight the hoo will hit the fan 

If you need some more enticing 

Here's the girl with twice the spicing 

We're the cake but she's the icing 

Lets be bad 

Lets be bad 

Marilyn: If you say something is taboo 

Well that's the thing I wanna do 

Do it till we're black and blue 

Lets be bad 

Guns and gangsters suit me fine 

Al Capone is a buddy of mine 

Hes my big shot valentine 

Let's 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 I'll be dancing when Hoover comes 

Dont 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 wetter 

Let me wear that scarlet letter 

When I'm bad I'm even better 

Let's be bad 

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 stand up 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 cats pajamas 

I'm the queen of the red hot mamas 

Let's 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 

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
