Shucked - Bad Lyrics

2023 Broadway
Shucked the Musical - Bad Lyrics


Music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally.

GORDY:
Dad was a Clyde, ma was a Bonnie
My brother a con, my sister a connie
And then they had me
A fly in the ointment
In a long line of hustlers
A big disappointment
I got the charm (You do)
And I got the looks (Sure do)
Got my DNA from the world's finest crooks

SOPRANOS & ALTOS:
Finest crooks

GORDY:
Professional poser

BOTH:
A counterfeit cad

GORDY:
Why can't I be better

SOPRANOS & ALTOS:
Better than who?

GORDY:
At just bein' bad?

SOPRANOS & ALTOS:
You can do better,
Can do better, can do better
If only you could be better at just bein' bad

GORDY & (SOPRANOS & ALTOS):
A disgrace to my fam'ly (Yep!)
Mocked by the mob (Uh-huh!)
Cause I robbed a bank
That had already been robbed (No way!)
My pyramid schemes (All of his schemes)
All turn into squares (turn into squares)
When I need a strike
I'm always a spare
(Cause you're always a spare)
Oh, but I could be king (A king)
If I could just find the pawn
(Checkmate)
Oh, I'd be a pro
At bein' a con
(You'd be the greatest conman)
The tables I'd run
The numbers I'd pad
(The numbers you'd pad)
If I could be better
(Better than who?)
At just bein' bad!
(Bein' bad!)

I could dig my way out of this ditch
If I had (If you had)
Just one more wagon to hitch
Be a plaid-wearing
Really rich son of a bitch like my dad
(Oh, dad)
I gotta get better
(You gotta get better)
Or I'll end up deader
(A million times deader)
Unless I get better
(Better than before)
At just bein' bad!

SOPRANOS & ALTOS:
You can do better, just do better
Just be better at bad!
