should i be sweet?

should i be the peppy type

or should i be the sweet thing?

should i deal in sex appeal or charm?

if i stick to charm will i have lure enough?

if i'm full of pep will i seem pure enough

sure enough?

should i be sweet and sing of spring and roses?

should i be hot for a spot where the fields of cotton grow?

if i am sweet

you may turn up your noses

and if i'm hot you may think i'm no more than a maid should know

i give you art

and let's suppose you like it

i win your heart then spoil it all with

wha deet dee doo da doo

so i repeat

should i sing sweetly

oh oh oh. or just get hot for a spot in the south and yell of it

i do both and that's just for the hell of it

should i be hot or sweet?

it's up to you
