Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil Lyrics
I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap,
I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
(I've petted stray dogs, and I never mope)
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer,
(I've been named Miss Perseverance year after year,)
And I'm the person to whom they say, "Your sweet, My Dear."
The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass,
And the closest I've been to a bar, is at ballet class.
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been cased,
I'm tired of being pure and not chased.
Like something that seeks it's level
I wanna go to the devil.
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
I want to wake up in the morning
with that dark brown taste
I want to see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more that that I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,
Just to see my partner's face.
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
And in the theatre
I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on
Everybody's feet
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
(I want to be horrid, I want to make news)
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be

Eartha Kitt I Want To Be Evil Comments
None of her evil choices are that evil.
Now I would like to come up with a lot much more evil options for her
She said "I want to cheat at jacks." 🤣
In those days the song that were made to pull you into the world of the evil and devil were straight forward. Now they put them on songs subliminally. Do you all realize if some people found that song catchy and they sing it consists, it's very possible you're summoning the devil to grant you those request. With the devil, it's not what you mean but it's what you say.
Live at the plaza has been a constant favourite in this household for two generations.
Me too 😔

Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
I'm tired of being pure and not chased
Like something that seeks it's level

I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be
I wanna get stronger
I wanna be tricksy
I wanna put curses
On the Yelnats family
Damn she fine
When puberty hit me
Me before the night of the first day of school.
This video seems so modern
💋🖤💜🖤🔥💖
Tri-state area is quaking.
That song from Descendants (Evil like me) sounds very similar to this one, maybe this was the inspiration.
Pink Floyd and the wall...hmmm....do what you wanna do....
Will forever adore Eartha Kitt
this could have been a Disney song lol
She is irresistible. The only Cat Woman, all the others are pretenders.
Personality Lost,Today so nice ouTSIDE
It was today I found out Eartha Kitt was Yzma fromEmperors new groove
I love this!! Love Eartha
Rhianna's wet dream.🤫
She always talked like a cat
Why do I feel like I'd be best friends with her if I met her in her time?
She sounds just like Izma!
They don't woman like her anymore they just don't.
This song was right up Eartha's alley. Great delivery!!!! Wonderful entertainer. 1/2020
This is clearly the point at which Catwoman chose to pursue her life of crime.
God, I love this woman.

Get outta my head, Eartha. I'm uncomfortable.
Correct lyrics :

I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer
And I'm the person to whom they say, "You're sweet, my dear"
The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass
And the closest I've been to a bar was at ballet class
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
I'm tired of being pure and not chased
Like something that seeks it's level
I wanna go to the devil
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean and throw mud pies
I want to wake up in the morning
With that dark brown taste
I wanna see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more than that, I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil and trump an ace
Just to see my partner's face
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool

I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
And whatever I've got, I am eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be
I wanna read along with this, but I can't help focusing on Eartha's magnetic face and animated movements.
me: this song isn't really about anything that evil, just gambling and occasionally drugs :/
her: i want to get up in the theater so i can step on peoples feet
me: lock her up.
*Q U E E N*
Eartha May had such a shit life growing up in the States, watch her interview with Terry Wogan in the 70s (I think it was) its really quite emotional and inspirational. She was so lucky to have found her voice
Just wow. Everything about her is so mesmerizing 💓
If I was actually skilled at MMD animation, I'd have Himiko Toga sing this with her backstory.
What’s with this ladies accent?
She’s GORGEOUS
you are the diet coke of evil you are a misdimena
Okay, it's almost 2 am. Watches video and decides to stay up those 3 extra minutes! Thanks, eartha!
She was the first Nina hagen if you look at her eyes😄
Linden B Johnson's wife 'Lady Bird' was sat opposite Eartha at a White House dinner.
And went off on a Patriotic Duty rant about Soldiers and them being proud to fight for their country.
ALL Eartha said was, "Well that's not what the boys tell me !"
Mrs.President apparently burst into tears at that point.
That's 'about the time' the FBI started a file on her and called her a 'Sadistic Nymphomaniac'.
And her work Suddenly started to dry up.
"Eartha....Eartha 'who'....No we never booked her....."
And off to Europe she went.
Dorothy Dandridge and Eartha Kitt were the sexiest women of color even though my late parents remember them even before I was conceived Dorothy Dandridge passed away before I came into this world but I remember Eartha Kitt until she passed on years later
She's so cute!
Yzmapolis my metropolis...Louder! YZMAPOLIS MY METROPOLIS!
Leaked: headlining song in a Disney prequel about Yzma's upbringing into evil
damn that chin
Let me sleep utub!
U can recommend this to me anytime but not tonight!
Making a side by side of this video on my channel soon, go watch &subscribe
"Earth is imitating a cat" it's funny because she actually played as Catwoman in the 1960s version of Batman
We Stan
Does being mean to beans mean being mean to beings?
She was always acting in my childhood movies as a kid in the 1990's, man i didnt know how beautiful she was when she was in her prime, damn......
The Origin of Yzma
she is one creepy, freaky woman
The origin of the Modern Westernized Black FeFail
My cat at 3 in the morning the second after I go to sleep:
She is such an icon, fuckin goals
A great night sample of the REAL goal of rock and roll. This was uniquely blatant for the time in which it was made. 😟
There will never be anyone as fabulous as Eartha Kitt!
cant not hear Yzma
Damn she was ON ONE. Twacked out of her MIND
Poetic Beauty
Best adaptation of Catwoman’s origin story I’ve ever heard.
Eartha hitt / eartha may
Who remembers stewie imitating her
Aside from the voice, Taraji Henson could play her if there was ever a biography movie.
I think it's my opportunity to write this comment..
Who is listening to this in 2020? 😮
How the hell did 726 people dislike this video? That seems unfathomable to me!
shoutout to hermitude. this is sample is used for the best song on rare sightings.
Youtube algorithm, you have served me well.
what a queen
I cannot get over how cute she is and how unique her voice is
Babe-alicious.....
❤💙💚💛🧡💜🖤
🤘😎🤘
Everything from her look to her attitude this woman was born to be a star and a iconic legend ❤❤❤❤
Me trying to act on tik tok
How did she ever get famous? Can't sing and ain't too pretty.
Like Ali, she had an overwhelming enormous ego and often it got in the way of her performances and her costars.
Oh shit she scared the shit out of me
So was this essentially her audition as Cat Woman in the Batman television show?
Back when artist had talent
I'd love to put speakers on my front porch and let the DISRESPECTFUL people here in Philadelphia get the message!
I'll be your Belzubub.
Wow she was pretty. As every man said, every time he saw her perform again.
To the young people who might not get the references.
In her day, young(ish) men who were artists used to invite sweet young women back to their apartment, to "view my etchings" i.e. to look at their art. And only naughty-girls would agree to do it.
Women were actually not allowed to drink in the "public bar" of the hotels or pubs in Britain, or the Commonwealth countries. Many pubs had "ladies bars" but some towns did not even have that, proper women simply did not drink in public.
The dark brown taste is how she sees the mouth of someone who has over-indulged the night before.
here eyes was so far apart. like a birds. she could literally see behind her. lol
Eartha: "I wanna go to the devil! I wanna be ev...."
*music stops*
Batman: "Hold it right there, Catwoman!"
Eartha: "Do you mind? I'm doing a song!"
Batman: "Oh, sorry. Continue on."
I bet marcus wouldn't have said no to that😆😆😆
First Tik Tok ever!
Was listening to music in the background, but when this came on, I just had to watch, and boy, I just couldn't stop
madam zeroni lookin fine
what a voice
what is this fucking shit? i cant imagine existing around a person like this......................burn it.
daniel holden shes just joking around.. dont take this song so seriously
Adorable ballad.
this lady is killing it on that old webcam
Definitely one in a million.
So this is definitely where Disney got The inspiration for “evil like me” for descendants from.
Bad ass Goddess. Reminds me of my x wives. 4 of em, loved em all.
I just realized that the song from Descendants samples this
