Call or check back - I have a fascinating collection of vintage sheet music which will be posted as I find the right frames. These came from an old family friend. She seemed to be 100 years old when I was a kid. She remembered when electricity was invented, and she would tell me stories about Philadelphia (where I grew up) and when the main street, Broad Street, was called Broad Road and it was not paved. In honor of Miss McCauley, I would love to find ways for new generations to enjoy these vintage works of art from the early 1900's

LYRICS (Check attached audio on YouTube).
Nobody ever sings about the bad girls
Because the bad girls are sad
And everybody sings about the good girls
Because the good girls are glad
Till you've been around 'em once or twice
You can't tell the naughty from the nice
There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl
They're not to blame
Mother Eve was very good
But even she raised Cain
I know a preacher's daughter
Who never orders water
There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl
They're all the same
I had a dream i went to see the devil
There was the devil to pay
He said i'm awful busy on the level
I said the devil you say
Why are you so busy tell me why
He replied and winked his other eye
There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl
They're not to blame
Though they seem like angels in a dream
They're naughty just the same
They read the good book Sunday
And snappy stories monday
There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl
They're all the same.
