Lyrics Evil Gal Blues - Count Basie & His Orchestra

Evil Gal Blues

I’m an evil gal
Don’t you bother with me, no
I said I’m an evil gal
Don’t you mess around with me, mhm
Well, I’ll empty your pockets and I’ll fill you with misery
Yes I will
If you tell me, «Good morning»
I’ll tell you, «That's a lie»
If you say I’m old, baby
I’ll give you an evil eye
I’m an evil gal
Don’t you mess around with me, mhm
I’m gonna empty your pockets and I’ll fill you with misery
Yes I will
I want caviar for breakfast
Champagne every night
I want a midnight snack
For every man that I invite
I’m an evil gal
Don’t you mess around with me, no
So goodbye, baby
I’m gonna set you free
Well, if you wanna be happy, honey, don’t you mess around with me, yeah
Said, if you wanna be happy, don’t you mess around with me, no
'Cause I’ll empty your pockets and I’ll fill you with misery
Yeah yeah, I’m evil
Well, if you wanna be happy, don’t you hang out with me no more
I said, if you wanna be happy, honey, don’t you hang out with me
You better not
'Cause I’ll empty your pockets and I’ll set you free
And I’m so jive, yes I am
