As performed by ALICE FAYE and Chorus
in the 1934 film "George White's Scandals":

Scandals, they're everywhre
They're in the air 
And who put 'em there
You, you and you, you nasty man

Scandal, you kiss and run
To have your fun with another one
Don't say it isn't so
A gal like me ought to know

Oh, you nasty man
Taking your love on the easy plan
Here and there and where you can
Oh, you nasty man

You're not fooling me
I've got you figured from A to Z
But you're darned good company
Oh, you big bad man

You, sweet and nasty
I know what's on your mind
You pull a fasty, make me sizzle
And then you chisel

Oh, you nasty man
I never met anyone who can
Be as bad or better than
You, you nasty, who taught you that
Oh, you nasty, don't never do that
Oh, you nasty man

(Instrumental Break)

(Oh, baby, get hot
You're with the Navy now
We like 'em red hot
Don't be slow, gal
Come on, let's go, gal)

(Hey, slow down, sailor, take your time
What'd'ya want for a dime
You nasty man)

(Instrumental Break)

(Shake them all
Shake like you never been shaked before
A good man won't ??? shaken for
Oh, you nasty man)

(What will it be, sir?)
[Something to pep me up]
(Try one of these, sir
Here's some wine, sir
Real genuine, sir)

[Oh, is my face red
Maybe this drink'll go to my head
Or it may put me to bed]
(Oh, you nasty man)

As recorded by KAY WEBER with the Dorsey Brothers Orch:

Look out, you'll hear me shout
You'll get your due if you don't watch out
Who? You know who
That nasty man
Look out you simple folk
He'll get you sure with you simple jokes
He'll win your confidence
Then with his tricks he'll commence

Oh that nasty man
Tryin' to fool you each time that he can
Playin' mean tricks, that's his plan
Oh! That nasty man
When he calls on you
He calls his uncle in Timbuktu
Leaves a nickel when he's through
Oh! That nasty man

When you're out walkin'
He'll make you trip and fall
And when you're talkin'
He will cut in, he likes to butt in

Oh that nasty man
He used to show off his Palm Beach tan
When it rained his colour ran
Oh! That nasty man

As recorded by HARRY ROY:

I'm a nasty man, taking my love on the easy plan
Here and there and where I can, I'm a nasty man
You're not fooling me, I've got you figured from A to Z
But I'm darned good company, oh I'm a big bad man

I'm sweet and nasty, you know what's on my mind
I'll pull a fasty, make a stew, then I chisel
I'm a nasty man, I never met anyone who can
Be as bad or better than me, I'm a nasty man
