"There Are Worse Things I Could Do" is a song written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey for the musical Grease. In the musical, it is sung by Rizzo, who fears she may be pregnant after her date with Kenickie, but when he confronts her, she denies he is the father even though he is the only guy she has slept with. Rumors spread quickly around Rydell High, and Rizzo becomes the subject of contempt and ridicule. She sings that beneath her bad, street girl image, she is really a vulnerable, insecure girl who genuinely does care what people think about her.
