Lyrics:
We're all alone, no chaperone Can get our number The world's in slumber Let's misbehave There's something wild about you child That's so contagious Let's be outrageous Let's misbehave When Adam won Eve's hand He wouldn't stand for teasin' He didn't care about those apples out of season |
They say the Spring
Means just one thing to little lovebirds We're not above birds Let's misbehave Let's misbehave Let's misbehave If you'd be just so sweet And only meet your fate, dear It would be the great event of 1928, dear Let's misbehave Let's misbehave |
