Memorial: ID: title and artist "He's Not Such A Bad Guy

[JOL]

The last one of the Richmond Street Baths master and my fav.
Wally actually did a dirty drag number to this song that was piss your pants funny. His drag name for this number was Bruta-Lee Beaten. It's set up like one of the old girl groups.
main vocalist and two backup singers.

Lyrics:
Hey you can say whatever you want about my guy
cause you only see one side of him
I see it all
sure he's bad but he's good bad
and I love him
and I'm gonna keep him
cause nobody knows him better than I do
what's good for me huh

chorus:
He's not such a bad guy after all (3x)

V: Love him so love him so
never gonna let him go

chorus: He's not such a bad guy after all

V: My man is the cheating kind
born to lose he loves to lie
but then once in awhile
he'll buy me flowers and shower me with big surprises

chorus: he's not such a bad guy after all
v: no no no no

chorus (same)

v: one moonbeam two moonbeam
my man is a Hercules
he loves to hurt and beat on me
but then I must concede
when he loves me I forget about him bruising me
chorus: (same)

V: no not such a bad guy after all

Could this be Julie Brown?

It's by Kid Creole & The Coconuts: "He's Not Such A Bad Guy After All"

The Coconuts do their best bad-girl Shangri-las imitation.

Mark,
I could kiss you been dying to know who did this for ages. Now where can I get my hands on a copy. The song is not listed at AMG. Was this done without Kid Creole, just the coconuts by themselves?

I have this at home. I think the whole group name was listed. I'll post the stats later.

Yetta,

It's on the Antilles/ZE label from 1980...so pretty early in their career.
