Aren't You Kinda Glad We Did

Oh, it really wasn't my intention

To disregard convention

It was just an impulse

That had to be obeyed.

Beacon Hill behavior we've been scorning

But I'll still not go in mourning

Though my reputation

Is blemished, I'm afraid.

What's done is done

But wasn't, and isn't it, fun

Honestly, I thought you wouldn't.

Naturally, you thought you couldn't.

And probably we shouldn't.

But aren't you kind of glad we did?

Actually, it all was blameless.

(of course it was)

Nevertheless, they'll call it shameless

(I suppose)

So the lady shall be nameless

(thank you)

But aren't you kind of glad we did?

Socially, you'll be an outcast

Obviously, we dined alone

On your good name there will be doubt cast

With never a sign of any chaperone.

No matter how they may construe it

(it'll be the wrong way)

Whether or not, we have to rue it

(we will)

Whatever made us do it

Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

Honestly, I thought I couldn't.

Naturally, I thought I wouldn't.

And probably I shouldn't.

But aren't you kind of glad we did?

Dinner was quite above suspicion

Milk in the glasses when they'd clink

Listening to a tired musician

But what is it Mrs. Grundy's going to think?

That I'm a bounder, a rounder, a cad, a Boston blighter

When speaking of me, she'll be no politer

Oh let's turn to something brighter

Whatever we did, we're glad we did
