It's interesting what passed for evil in the 1950s when this song came out. Like cheating at jacks, playing pool, trumping an ace, so on. It's hard to tell if Eartha is being facetious here. Regardless, the rhymes are great.

I'm not a mindreader but I think it is very clear that it was a joke (and a really good one). She is so nice and pure that even when she tries to imagine being evil, this is the worst she can come up with. I love this song so much.
