Evil Gal Blues - Original - Dinah Washington

I’m an evil gal

Don’t you bother with me, no

I said I’m an evil gal

Don’t you mess around with me, mhm

Well, I’ll empty your pockets and I’ll fill you with misery

Yes I will

If you tell me, «Good morning»

I’ll tell you, «That's a lie»

If you say I’m old, baby

I’ll give you an evil eye

I’m an evil gal

Don’t you mess around with me, mhm

I’m gonna empty your pockets and I’ll fill you with misery

Yes I will

I want caviar for breakfast

Champagne every night

I want a midnight snack

For every man that I invite

I’m an evil gal

Don’t you mess around with me, no

So goodbye, baby

I’m gonna set you free

Well, if you wanna be happy, honey, don’t you mess around with me, yeah

Said, if you wanna be happy, don’t you mess around with me, no

'Cause I’ll empty your pockets and I’ll fill you with misery

Yeah yeah, I’m evil

Well, if you wanna be happy, don’t you hang out with me no more

I said, if you wanna be happy, honey, don’t you hang out with me

You better not

'Cause I’ll empty your pockets and I’ll set you free

And I’m so jive, yes I am
