She's Not As Bad As All That
Now I know that Nelly is not without fault
She sometimes don't know where she's at
But don't tell me Nelly is not worth her salt
Cause she's not as bad as all that
She waits on the tables and works mighty hard
Though she's not learned efficiency yet
But it would take much more to get Nelly fired
Cause she's not as bad as all that
Nelly is never without her sweet smile
She's prettiest all of the time
I'd have a buck tip that she's living in style
Though she'd be just as glad if you'd leave her a dime
And maybe her grammar's not all it should be
She's got her manners down pat
So I'll wait on Nelly to come wait on me
Cause she's not as bad as all that

Nelly is never without her sweet smile...
She's not as bad as all that
No es tan mala como todos dicen
Ahora sé que Nelly no está libre de culpa
A veces no sabe dónde está
Pero no me digas que Nelly no vale la pena
Porque no es tan mala como todos dicen
Ella espera en las mesas y trabaja muy duro
Aunque aún no ha aprendido eficiencia
Pero se necesitaría mucho más para despedir a Nelly
Porque no es tan mala como todos dicen
Nelly nunca está sin su dulce sonrisa
Es la más bonita todo el tiempo
Apostaría que vive con estilo
Aunque estaría igual de contenta si le dejaras una moneda
Y tal vez su gramática no sea la mejor
Tiene sus modales bien aprendidos
Así que esperaré a que Nelly venga a atenderme
Porque no es tan mala como todos dicen
[ piano ]
Nelly nunca está sin su dulce sonrisa...
No es tan mala como todos dicen
