Let's Be Bad (SMASH Cast Version) [feat. Megan Hilty]

When we're feeling down and low

Then our favorite word is no

Cause it points the way to go

Let's be bad

Who knows what will come tomorrow?

Neighbor, lose the sauce and sorrow

Here's some sugar you can borrow

Let's be bad

Does anyone think she'll actually show up? Is she even on set?

Ms. Monroe is in her dressing room!

What kind of shape is she in?

Her shape ain't the problem, where is she? We're gonna be stuck here all night!

Don't want to be boring

Our twenties are roaring

Let's punish the flooring

Yeah drummer man, do what you can

Tonight the (whoo!) will hit the fan!

How many takes did we do yesterday? 60?

You know, someone should fire her!

Fire Miss Monroe?!

If you need some more enticing

Here's a girl with twice the spicing

We're the cake, but she's the icing!

Let's be bad

Let's be bad

Arthur, where is she?

She's in her dressing room, she's not feeling well

I'm not feeling well either, get her out here, now!

Here she is boys, Marilyn Monroe in the flesh, all ready to film yet another thrilling movie about a dumb blonde

Marilyn, you look wonderful

And that's all that matters, isn't it?

Darling, so many pills…

How do you expect me to keep going? You're not bringing in any dough. Somebody has to support us

Let's take it from her entrance

Where's my mark?

Right this way Miss Monroe, follow me

Action!

Let's be bad!

Let's be bad!

If you say something is taboo

Well, that's the thing I want to do

Do it till we're black and blue

Let's be bad

Guns and gangsters suit me fine

Al Capone is a buddy of mine

He's my big-shot valentine

Let's be bad

If spirits are sagging

If feet are 'a dragging

Fall off of that wagon

The piano hums to the bass and drums

And I'll be dancing when Hoover comes

Don't care if you've tied the knot

Most folks want what they ain't got

Melt the ice, some like it hot

Let's be bad

Here's my whistle, make it "whetter."

Let me wear that scarlet letter

When I'm bad I'm even better

Let's be bad

What a mess! She's so doped up, I can't use any of this!

Say "bye-bye, propriety!"

No polite society

Give me notoriety!

Let's be bad

You're fabulous, Marilyn!

The whole world adores you!

Keep dancing, you're gorgeous!

Bring on the vices!

Don't care what the price is!

I'll add the right spices

When the stand-up bass slaps you in the face

Well, it ain't my husband I'll embrace

I can't see the use in waiting

Your lips are intoxicating

Do my hips need some translating?

Let's be bad!

If I drown in bathtub gin

Notify my next of kin

They might grieve, or might jump in!

Let's be bad

Who wants plays and O'Neill dramas?

Gershwin is the cat's pajamas!

I'm the queen of the red-hot mamas!

Let's be bad

Let's be bad!

Each crook and G-man

Each cop and he-man

Just stick with me, man!

Every joint's a juke with my red-hot uke

And just like Judas once said to Luke

Here's the key for my ignition

Hit the gas to my transmission!

When you hear the things I'm wishing

You won't offer opposition

Let's prohibit prohibition!

Let's! (Let's!) Be! (Be!) Ba-a-ad! (Bad!)

Some like it hot, and that ain't bad!
