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
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
