Candy Barr was really quite a star,
she could do-have-done-did-dance the dirty donkey.
But she went to jail, she dropped a nail on some
Snow-White-uptight-do-right Dallas honky.
Oh, the little lady only wanted to get her kicks,
shot a man down and the next day she was free.
Texas law'll get you two-to-life on Loco Weed.
Don't need a judge to tell you, Mama,
that you can't disturb the peace.
When she's good, she's so, so good,
but when she's bad she's better.
Oh, when she's good, she's so, so good,
but when she's bad she's better.
Candy Barr was really quite a star,
she could back-drop-non-stop-be-bop a Silver Dollar.
Put your money down she'll turn you 'round,
she can make-shake-fake-break-take you
'til you holler.
The little lady only wanted to rip it up, (rip it up)
Told me she that was gettin' high on rhythm-n-blues.
She remembers every stud that ever set her up.
Mama's still in the factory,
Papa's still makin' them shoes.
When she's good, she's so, so good,
but when she's bad she's better.
Oh, when she's good, she's so, so good,
but when she's bad she's better.
Yes she is!

Yes she is!
