Lyrics When The Man Is Dead and Gone - Al Bowlly

When The Man Is Dead and Gone

Satan, Satan, thought up a plan
Dressed as a man
Walking the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
When they lay him twelve feet deep
Ill be there to laugh, not weep
When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Satanll take him by the hand
To meet old Gerring, look what, man
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
Some fine day the newsll flash
Satan with a small moustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
When a certain man is dead and gone
