Irving Berlin
I’m a Bad Bad Man
[FRANK]
I'm honored, I'm flattered
This greeting really mattered
This welcome is grand but I'm really concerned
I like your attention
But first I have to mention
You're playing with fire and you're apt to get burned
There's a girl in Tennessee
Who's sorry she met up with me
Can't go back to Tennessee
I'm a bad, bad man
There's a girl in Omaha
But I ran faster than her pa
Can't go back to Omaha
I'm a bad, bad man
There's a girl in Wyoming
And they're combing Wyoming
To find the man in white
Who was out with her that night
There's a girl in Arkansas
The sheriff is her brother-in-law
Can't go back to Arkansas
I'm a bad, bad man
I'm enlightened, but frightened
My interest, you've heightened
It might turn out to be
That you're much too much for me
So I'll go back to my tent
And someday when you're old and bent
Think of hours you might have spent
With a bad, bad man
