Let's Misbehave
Banjo Buddy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're all alone, no chaperone
Can get our number
The world's in slumber
Let's misbehave

There's something wild about you child
That's so contagious
Let's be outrageous

Let's misbehave

When Adam won Eve's hand
He wouldn't stand for teasin'
He didn't care about those apples out of season

They say the Spring
Means just one thing to little lovebirds
We're not above birds
Let's misbehave

Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave

If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet your fate, dear
It would be the great event of 1928, dear

Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Banjo Buddy's song "Let's Misbehave" speak to a sense of adventure and danger that is often associated with romantic relationships. The song's opening lines set the scene for a situation in which the two lovers are able to be alone and enjoy each other's company without the interference of a chaperone. This creates a sense of freedom and opportunity for the lovers to explore their relationship in a way that is not easily possible in other circumstances.

As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the attraction that the lovers feel for each other as a kind of contagion, something wild and exciting that they cannot resist. The song urges them to embrace this feeling and to be "outrageous" and "misbehave" in the pursuit of their desires. The reference to Adam and Eve in the third verse reinforces the idea that the natural world is full of temptation and that the lovers should not be afraid to indulge their desires. Ultimately, the song celebrates the wild abandon of romantic love and encourages the lovers to embrace their passions without reservation.
