MiscellaneousDon't Be A Do-Badder lyrics by Bing Crosby
(*S. Cahn, J. Van Heusen)
[** from 'Robin and the 7 Hoods':]
[** Recorded April 10, 1964, Los Angeles:]
We're taught and taught and taught
To do the things we ought.
But all the things we're taught
Can all add up to naught.
Unless we really come to know
There are just two ways to go.
Take it from me, don't be a do-badder,
A do-badder, a do-badder.
You'll put your foot on that ladder
That leads you to that place below and
Every day you'll grow sadder, you'll
Feel sadder, you'll get madder.
So use that self same step ladder
To climb the other way.
Scrapping and fighting, scratching and biting,
Cheating and acting selfish
Makes your heart like a part
Of the hardest hard-shelled shellfish.
Take it from me, don't be a do-badder,
A do-badder, a do-badder.
Just step aboard that step ladder.
And climb the other way.
[Bing & Children:]
(Bing)Take it from me, don't be a (Child1) do-badder,
(Child2) A do-badder, (Child3) a do-badder.
(Bing) Well you put your foot on that ladder
That leads you to that place below and
Every day you'll (Child1) grow sadder,
(Child2) Feel sadder, (Child3) get madder.
(Bing) So use that self same step ladder
To climb the other way.
[Children:]
Scrappin' and fightin', scratchin' and bitin',
Cheatin' and actin' selfish
Makes your heart like a part
Of the hardest hard-shelled shellfish.
[Bing & Children:]
(Bing)Take it from me, don't be a (Child1) do-badder,
(Child2) A do-badder, (Child3) a do-badder.
Just step aboard that step ladder
And climb the other way.
[Bing & Children:]
Take it from me, don't be a do-badder,
A do-badder, a do-badder.
You'll put your foot on that ladder
That leads you to that place below and
Every day you'll grow sadder, you'll
Feel sadder, you'll get madder.
So use that self same step ladder
To climb the other way.
[Whistle Chorus:]
[Bing & Children:]
Don't be a do-badder,
A do-badder, a do-badder.
Just climb aboard that step ladder and
[Bing:] All you do is climb the other way.
[Children:] All you have to do is simply...
[Bing & Children:] Climb the other way!
[Bing:] A do good!
