Intro:
| C minorCm   |


Verse 1:
C minorCm
 I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap
G minorGm
 I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
FF
 My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
G7G7                   C minorCm
 But I'm noted most for my unspoiled agenda

Verse 2:
     C minorCm
I've been made Miss Rheingold, though I never touch beer
G minorGm
 And I'm the person to whom they say, "You're sweet, My Dear."
FF
 The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass
    G7G7                 C minorCm
And the closest I've been to a bar, was at ballet class


Verse 3:
C majorC
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
  G minorGm                 C minorCm
I'm tired of being pure and not chased
               G minorGm
Like something that seeks its level
         AbAb
I wanna go to the devil


Refrain:
      F minorFm C minorCm    G+G
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
      C majorC         G+G    C majorC
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
      F minorFm  C majorC       G+G
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
      C majorC          F minorFm
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies


Verse 4:
     BbM7Bbm7      Db7Db7
I want to wake up in the morning
     Ab7Ab7
With that  dark brown taste
G+G
 I want to see some dissipation in my face
      F minorFm C minorCm      G+G
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
       C7C7       F minorFm
But more than that I wanna be bad

Verse 5:
      EbM7Ebm7        F minorFm
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace
    Ab7Ab7
Just to see my partner's face
      EbM7Ebm7       F minorFm
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
      Ab7Ab7          Eb7Eb7
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
      Eb7Eb7
And in the theatre
     Gb7Gb7   Eb MajorEb
I want to change my seat
Ab7Ab7
Just so I can step on

Everybody's feet


Refrain:
      Dbm7Dbm7        F7F7
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
       Eb7Eb7
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
      EbM7Ebm7         F7F7
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
         G+G        Eb7Eb7
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose


Tag:
      Abm7Abm7     EbM7Ebm7   Eb7Eb7
I wanna be evil, little evil me
         Eb7Eb7   B7B7 Bb7Bb7 Eb7Eb7
Just as mean and evil as I  can be
