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!
