2023 Broadway Shucked the Musical - Bad Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally.
GORDY: Dad was a Clyde, ma was a Bonnie My brother a con, my sister a connie And then they had me A fly in the ointment In a long line of hustlers A big disappointment I got the charm (You do) And I got the looks (Sure do) Got my DNA from the world's finest crooks
SOPRANOS & ALTOS: Finest crooks
GORDY: Professional poser
BOTH: A counterfeit cad
GORDY: Why can't I be better
SOPRANOS & ALTOS: Better than who?
GORDY: At just bein' bad?
SOPRANOS & ALTOS: You can do better, Can do better, can do better If only you could be better at just bein' bad
GORDY & (SOPRANOS & ALTOS): A disgrace to my fam'ly (Yep!) Mocked by the mob (Uh-huh!) Cause I robbed a bank That had already been robbed (No way!) My pyramid schemes (All of his schemes) All turn into squares (turn into squares) When I need a strike I'm always a spare (Cause you're always a spare) Oh, but I could be king (A king) If I could just find the pawn (Checkmate) Oh, I'd be a pro At bein' a con (You'd be the greatest conman) The tables I'd run The numbers I'd pad (The numbers you'd pad) If I could be better (Better than who?) At just bein' bad! (Bein' bad!)
I could dig my way out of this ditch If I had (If you had) Just one more wagon to hitch Be a plaid-wearing Really rich son of a bitch like my dad (Oh, dad) I gotta get better (You gotta get better) Or I'll end up deader (A million times deader) Unless I get better (Better than before) At just bein' bad!
SOPRANOS & ALTOS: You can do better, just do better Just be better at bad!
