As recorded by MARGUERITE FARRELL:
I'm worried, I'm worried thinking about you
And there's a reason why
It's all on account of the things that you do
You know you're naughty, and I know it too
You made me love you right from the start
Why do you play with my heart
Naughty, naughty, naughty
Can't you be good, can't you be good
Things you do just set me wild
Still, you're my own angel child
If you keep on worrying me
I'm going to take you right across my knee
Because you're naughty, naughty, oh, so naughty
Just a naughty baby to me
I want you, I want you, though you're unruly
Why do you misbehave
You say you're not naughty, but I can surmise
What you can do with those wonderful eyes
I'm simply helpless when I'm with you
I wish I knew what to do
Naughty, naughty, naughty
Can't you be good, oh honey, can't you be good
Things you do just set me wild
Still, you're my own angel child
If you keep on worrying me
I'm going to take you right across my knee
Because you're naughty, naughty, oh, so naughty
Just a naughty baby to me

As recorded by TERESA BREWER:
Naughty, naughty, naughty
Can't you be good, can't you be good
Things you do just set me wild
Still, you're mummy's angel child
If you keep on worrying me
I'm gonna take you right across my knee
Because you're naughty, naughty, oh, so naughty
You're just a naughty baby to me
I'm worried, so worried thinking about you
And there's a reason why
It's all on account of the things that you do
You know you're naughty, and I know it too
You made me love you right from the start
Why must you play with my heart
Can't you be good, can't you be good
Still, you're mummy's angel child
If you keep on worrying me
I'm gonna take you right across my knee
Because you're naughty, naughty, oh, so naughty
You're just a naughty baby, just a naughty baby
Just a naughty baby to me
