They want me to be nice They want me to be good But I'm a simple rotten guy Who's just misunderstood They said that I should change And wear a purity smile But smiling makes my face hurt And happiness is vile They want me to give up the only life I've ever had But it's so good to be bad It's good to be bad, It's great to be a crook, It's nice to be a villain like you read about in books It's swell to be nasty It's keen to be so mean Yes, I'm an extraordinary nastiness machine It's good to be bad It's great to be a crook, It's nice to be a villain like you read about in books It's swell to be nasty It's keen to be so mean Yes, I'm an extraordinary nastiness machine It's good to be bad Wow! I feel bad! Ha, ha!
