| You talk of all the many things that you have
|
| And you smile from day to day
|
| But no one has ever seen any of these
|
| And those smiles just fade away
|
| Someone keeps shouting out 'I want to know'
|
| Well I can’t help singing this song
|
| When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too
|
| I know I can’t go wrong
|
| I have to slip away today
|
| I’ve been invited down to stay
|
| Yes I feel my going down
|
| They say that eight fishes call men in the sea
|
| And use man-made for the bait
|
| And shoots all the people that fly in the sky
|
| That chance on his estate
|
| That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen
|
| And none but he can do
|
| They tell me this and they tell me that
|
| And tell me this is always, always something new
|
| You’d better believe it’s so
|
| I made up my mind to go
|
| A whole world waits for you
|
| I’ll sit with my head thrust down on your knees
|
| And smile for you again
|
| And you won’t have to worry about anything now
|
| I’ll be halfway there by ten
|
| It only takes a moment to decide on the move
|
| It all seems so absurd
|
| Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too
|
| Who never keeps his word
|
| I made up my mind to go
|
| You’d better believe it’s so
|
| A whole world waits for me |
