[LOIS, spoken]
Bill, you've been gamblin' again!

[BILL, spoken]
Gee, honey, I'm sorry

[LOIS, spoken]
If only you meant it!

[LOIS]
Why can't you behave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
After all the things you’ve told me
And the promises that you gave
Oh, why can't you behave?

[BILL, spoken]
They switched the dice on me, baby!

[LOIS]
Why can't you be good?
And do just as you should?
Won't you turn that new leaf over
So your baby can be your slave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
There's a farm I know near my old home town

[BILL]
Where we two can go and try settlin' down

[LOIS & BILL]
There I'll care for you forever
Well, at least ‘till you dig my grave. (Ooh!)
Oh, why can't you behave?

[BILL]
Gee, I need you, kid

[LOIS]
I always knew you did
But why can't you behave?
