Lyrics
1. Baby Baby it’s bad to be so good
You’re gonna finish nowhere
Baby Baby step out, you know you should go on
And show them you’re there
When it comes to red hot spoonin’
Baby you’re a frigidaire
Chorus:
Oh, you’re kinda meek in the moonlight
‘Round the parlor you holler No
You wanna be good
Well, you’re gonna be good
Bad Baby
Oh, you ought act like your age, dear
For at twenty you’re plenty slow
You wanna be good
Well, you’re gonna be good
Bad Baby
Any time you talk to me
It’s a lot of “ga-ga-ga”
Like to put you ‘cross my knee
Spank your little Da-Da-Da
Oh, a Boogieman’s gonna get you
He’ll just pet you and let you go
You wanna be good
Well, you’re gonna be good
Bad Baby
2. Baby Baby you’ve got a lot to learn
You need a course in real love
Baby Baby just make your kisses burn
Use what you’ve got a lot of
Something tells me that you’re slipping
Better give yourself a shove
