Oh, it really wasn`t my intention
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse
That had to be obeyed.
Beacon Hill behavior we`ve been scorning
But I`ll still not go in mourning
Though my reputation
Is blemished, I`m afraid.
What`s done is done
But wasn`t, and isn`t it, fun
Honestly, I thought you wouldn`t.
Naturally, you thought you couldn`t.
And probably we shouldn`t.
But aren`t you kind of glad we did?
Actually, it all was blameless.
(of course it was)
Nevertheless, they`ll call it shameless
(I suppose)
So the lady shall be nameless
(thank you)
But aren`t you kind of glad we did?
Socially, you`ll be an outcast
Obviously, we dined alone
On your good name there will be doubt cast
With never a sign of any chaperone.
No matter how they may construe it
(it`ll be the wrong way)
Whether or not, we have to rue it
(we will)
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren`t you kind of glad we did?
Honestly, I thought I couldn`t.
Naturally, I thought I wouldn`t.
And probably I shouldn`t.
But aren`t you kind of glad we did?
Dinner was quite above suspicion
Milk in the glasses when they`d clink
Listening to a tired musician
But what is it Mrs. Grundy`s going to think?
That I`m a bounder, a rounder, a cad, a Boston blighter
When speaking of me, she`ll be no politer
Oh let`s turn to something brighter
Whatever we did, we`re glad we did
