IMPROPER TONIGHT LYRICS

Improper Tonight

© David J. Goodrich & Beverly Ellis. All rights reserved.

She lived such proper years

On a proper little street

She walked a proper path

With her proper little feet

She wore her proper clothes

To her proper little school

She learned the proper set of lessons

And a proper set of rules

She met a proper young man

Who knew the proper thing to say

He took her down to the river

To get married one day

She said the proper wedding vows

In her proper white dress

Now her proper little life

Is a proper little mess

It was driving her crazy, she had to be free

As wild and as wanton as could ever be

To forget about convention, to forget about what’s right

She wants to get improper tonight

She took those wedding vows

In a proper paper sack

She took them down to the river

And they’re never coming back

‘Cause you see proper doesn’t profit

In the light of day

It’s a proper set of lies

That the proper people say

It was driving her crazy, she had to be free

As wild and as wanton as could ever be

To forget about convention, to forget about what’s right

She wants to get improper tonight

She lived such proper years

On a proper little street

She walked a proper path

With her proper little feet
