Barbara's Been a Bad Girl
Barbara's been a bad girl
Someone should have said
Then taken away her candy
And sent her straight to bed
Barbara grew up with people
Who would never scold
Who were always within reach
Without even being told
She starting meeting friends
Just to keep the blues away
Soom they moved in
And were there to stay
We never really knew little Barbara
When we met she'd already been sold
To friends who didn't care
She only wanted more and not to get old
Barbara had a bad time
Always trying to get more
For Barbara's friends came in bottles
From a prescription drug store
Barbara's been a bad girl
Someone shouold have said
Then taken away her pills
And pulled her out of bed
