I Want To Be Evil – Eartha Kitt – letras

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 tenderBut I’m noted most for my unspoiled genderI’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 levelI wanna go to the devil.RefrainI wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacksI wanna be evil, and cheat at jacksI wanna be wicked, I wanna tell liesI wanna be mean, and throw mud piesI want to wake up in the morningwith that dark brown tasteI want to see some dissipation in my faceI wanna be evil, I wanna be madBut more that that I wanna be badI wanna be evil, and trump an ace,Just to see my partner’s face.I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruelI wanna be daring, I wanna shoot poolAnd in the theatreI want to change my seatJust so I can step onEverybody’s feetI wanna be evil, I wanna hurt fliesI wanna sing songs like the guy who criesI 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 loseI wanna be evil, little evil meJust as mean and evil as I can be
