Album: Crazy for You

Naughty Baby


Lyrics by Ira Gershwin and Desmond Carter

Irene
If you want a girl who's sentimental,
One who'll never set you in a whirl,
One who will be always sweet and gentle,
I am not that kind of girl.
But if you prefer a rather swift one,
If you think you'd like to run around
With a bright one
I am just the right one.
Naughty baby,
Naughty baby,
Who will tease you.
I can show the way
And know the way
To please you.
If you're wanting a beginner
I shan't do
I can make a saint a sinner
When I want to.
If you find
The simple kind
Are rather slow, dear,
Then you ought to try
A naughty one
You know, dear,
But you'll never meet another who will be
A naughty baby, naughty baby just like me.

Harry, Wyatt, Junior and Mingo
Naughty baby we love you.
Though you may be bad it's true
Please don't go.
For though we've been warned about you
You must know
That we want you so!

Irene
If you find
The simple kind
Are rather slow, dear,
Then you ought to try
A naught one
You know, dear,
But you'll never meet another who will be
A naught baby, naughty baby...

Lank
Naughty baby, naughty baby...

Irene
Naughty baby, naughty baby...

Harry, Wyatt Junior and Mingo
Naughty baby...

Irene
Just like me.
