Let's Misbehave 1927 'High Society'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Dec 2005

You could have a great career, and you should,
only one thing stops you, dear,
you're too good.
If you want a future, darling,
why don't you get a past?
'Cause that fatal moment's comin' at last.

We're all alone,
no chaperone can get our number.
The world's in slumber,
let's misbehave!
I know it's fun,
but I for one say
"Time to scurry."
In fact, let's hurry,
let's misbehave.
If you'd be just so sweet
and only meet your fate, dear,
'twould be the great event
of nineteen thirtyeight, dear.
They say that bears have love affairs
and even camels; we're merely mammals,
let's misbehave.

There's something wild about you, child,
that's so contagious.
Let's be outrageous, let's misbehave!
They say that bugs curl up in rugs
for their diversions.
Let's find some Persians,
let's misbehave.
Now on the eve of unbelievable romance, dear,
I say let's slip away
while we still have the chance, dear.

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 that bears have love affairs
and even camels; we're merely mammals,
Let's misbehave.
