We're taught and taught and taught
To do the things we ought
But all the things we're taught
Can all add up to nots
Unless we really come to know
There are just two ways to go
Take it from me don't be a do badder, a do badder, a do badder
You'll put your foot on that ladder that leads you to that place below
And everyday you'll grow sadder, you'll feel sadder, you'll get madder
So use that self same step ladder to climb the other way
Scrappin' and fightin'
Scratchin' and bitin'
Cheatin' and actin' selfish makes your heart like a part of the hardest, hard-shelled shellfish
Take it from me don't be a do badder, a do badder, a do badder
Just step aboard that step ladder and climb the other way
Take it from me don't be a
Do badder
Do badder
Do badder
Put your foot on that step ladder that leads you to that place below
And everyday you'll
Grow sadder
Feel sadder
Get madder
So use that self same step ladder to climb the other way
Scrappin' and fightin'
Scratchin' and bitin'
Cheatin' and actin'
Selfish makes your heart like a part of the hardest, hard-shelled shellfish
Take it from me don't be a
Do badder
Do badder
Do badder
Just step aboard that step ladder and climb the other way
Take it from me don't be a do badder, a do badder, a do badder
You'll put your foot on that ladder that leads you to that place below
And everyday you'll grow sadder, you'll feel sadder, you'll get madder
So use that self same step ladder to climb the other way
Don't be a do badder, do badder, do badder
Just climb aboard that step ladder and all you do is climb the other way
Climb the other way
A-do good
