A Greek Slave I'm A Naughty Girl
Song No. 24
Music by Lionel Monckton
Iris and Chorus
Song — Iris
- Iris:
- I'm an imp on mischief bent,
- Only feeling quite content
- When doing wrong!
- Chorus:
- When doing wrong!
- Iris:
- Sometimes when I've had the fun —
- I repent of what I've done
- But not for long!
- Chorus:
- But not for long!
- Iris:
- On my mistress tricks I play,
- Telling her what love should say,
- Whispering what love should do;
- She believes and does it too!
- I'm a naughty girl!
- You needn't sham;
- You know I am!
- Rome is in a whirl,
- Because they're all afraid
- Of this naughty little maid!
- Chorus:
- She's a naughty girl!
- We know it well
- And mean to tell!
- She's a bad one
- If we ever had one:
- Oh, she's a very very naughty little girl!
- Iris:
- At the Roman Clubs, no doubt,
- Funny tales you hear about
- My goings on!
- Chorus:
- Your goings on!
- Iris:
- If I like to sit and chat,
- What can be the harm in that —
- Though daylight's gone?
- Chorus:
- Though daylight's gone?
- Iris:
- If some youth with manners free,
- Dares to snatch a kiss from me,
- Do I ask him to explain?
- No — I kiss him back again!
- I'm a naughty girl!
- You needn't sham;
- You know I am!
- Rome is in a whirl,
- Because they're all afraid
- Of this naughty little maid!
- Chorus:
- She's a naughty girl!
- We know it well
- And mean to tell!
- She's a bad one
- If we ever had one:
- Oh, she's a very very naughty little girl!
