Pack Up Your Sins And Go To The Devil |
| Oh, I got a message from below |
| 'Twas from a man I used to know |
| About a year or so ago |
| Before he departed |
| He is just as happy as can be |
| I’ll tell you what he said to me |
| He said, «If ever you get heavy-hearted |
| Pack up your sins and go to the devil in Hades |
| You’ll meet the finest of gentlemen and the finest of ladies |
| They’d rather be down below than up above |
| Hades is full of thousands of |
| Joneses and Browns, O’Hoolihans, Cohens and Bradys |
| You’ll hear a heavenly tune that went to the devil |
| Because the jazz bands |
| They started pickin' it |
| Then put a trick in it |
| A jazzy kick in it |
| They’ve got a couple of old reformers in Heaven |
| Making them go to bed at eleven |
| Pack up your sins and go to the devil |
| And you’ll never have to go to bed at all |
| If you care to dwell where the weather is hot |
| H-E-double-L is a wonderful spot |
| If you need a rest and you’re all out of sorts |
| Hades is the best of the winter resorts |
| Paradise doesn’t compare |
| All the nice people are there |
| They come there from ev’rywhere |
| Just to revel with Mister Devil |
| Nothing on his mind but a couple of horns |
| Satan is waitin' with his jazz band |
| And his band came from Alabam' with a melody hot |
| No one gives a damn if it’s music or not |
| Satan’s melody makes you want to dance forever |
| And you never have to go to bed at all |
