I've never seen the inside of a bar room Or listened to a Jukebox all night long But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure So I'm gonna make some changes in our home I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em So if that's the way you wanted me to be I'll change if it takes that to make you happy From now on you're gonna see a different me Because your good girl's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had If you like 'em painted up, powdered up Then you oughta be glad 'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad I'll even learn to like the taste of whisky In fact, you'll hardly recognise your wife I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy For my journey to the wilder side of life Because your good girl's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had If you like 'em painted up, powdered up Then you oughta be glad 'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad Oh yeah, your good girl's gonna go bad
