[** from 'Robin and the 7 Hoods':]

[** Recorded April 10, 1964, Los Angeles:]
4
We're taught and taught and taught
5
To do the things we ought.
6
But all the things we're taught
7
Can all add up to naught.
8
Unless we really come to know
9
There are just two ways to go.
10
Take it from me, don't be a do-badder,
11
A do-badder, a do-badder.
12
You'll put your foot on that ladder
13
That leads you to that place below and
14
Every day you'll grow sadder, you'll
15
Feel sadder, you'll get madder.
16
So use that self same step ladder
17
To climb the other way.
18
Scrapping and fighting, scratching and biting,
19
Cheating and acting selfish
20
Makes your heart like a part
21
Of the hardest hard-shelled shellfish.
22
Take it from me, don't be a do-badder,
23
A do-badder, a do-badder.
24
Just step aboard that step ladder.
25
And climb the other way.
26
[Bing & Children:]
27
(Bing)Take it from me, don't be a (Child1) do-badder,
28
(Child2) A do-badder, (Child3) a do-badder.
29
(Bing) Well you put your foot on that ladder
30
That leads you to that place below and
31
Every day you'll (Child1) grow sadder,
32
(Child2) Feel sadder, (Child3) get madder.
33
(Bing) So use that self same step ladder
34
To climb the other way.
35
[Children:]
36
Scrappin' and fightin', scratchin' and bitin',
37
Cheatin' and actin' selfish
38
Makes your heart like a part
39
Of the hardest hard-shelled shellfish.

[Bing & Children:]
41
(Bing)Take it from me, don't be a (Child1) do-badder,
42
(Child2) A do-badder, (Child3) a do-badder.
43
Just step aboard that step ladder
44
And climb the other way.
45
[Bing & Children:]
46
Take it from me, don't be a do-badder,
47
A do-badder, a do-badder.
48
You'll put your foot on that ladder
49
That leads you to that place below and
50
Every day you'll grow sadder, you'll
51
Feel sadder, you'll get madder.
52
So use that self same step ladder
53
To climb the other way.
54
[Whistle Chorus:]
55
[Bing & Children:]
56
Don't be a do-badder,
57
A do-badder, a do-badder.
58
Just climb aboard that step ladder and
59
[Bing:] All you do is climb the other way.
60
[Children:] All you have to do is simply...
61
[Bing & Children:] Climb the other way!
62
[Bing:] A do good!
