The Day of the Devil |
The day the devil comes to getcha |
You know him by the way he smiles |
The day the devil comes to getcha |
He’s a rusty truck with only twenty miles |
He’s got bad brakes he’s got loose teeth |
He’s a long way from home |
The day the devil comes to getcha |
He’s got a smile like a scar |
He knows the way to your house |
He’s got the keys to your car |
And when he sells you his sportcoat |
You say: Funny! |
That’s my size |
Attention shoppers! |
Everybody please rise |
Give me back my innocence |
Get me a brand new suit |
Give me back my innocence |
Oh Lord! |
Cut me down to size |
Well you can hide under the porch |
And you can hide behind the couch |
But the day the devil comes to getcha |
He’s right on time |
Here he comes |
Well I’m sick of hearin bout your problems |
Yeah girlie your breakin my heart |
I’m the original party animal |
Hey! |
Hey! |
Babaloo |
So don’t come bangin your Bibles |
Cause you’ve been laughin |
All the way to the bank |
And don’t give me those crocodile tears |
Cause you’ve been doing it for years |
I’m everywhere! |
Sign right here |
Mr. Jones |
The day the devil comes to getcha |
He’s a long way from home |
And you know he’s gonna getcha |
Cause you’re stuck in the middle |
Everybody please rise |
Give me back my innocence |
Get me a brand new suit |
Give me back my innocence |
Oh Lord! |
Cut me down to size |
Give me back my innocence |
Get me a new Cadillac |
Cause when I get on up to heave Lord |
You can have it all back |
Cause in heaven, you get it all back |
In heaven it all comes back |
Cause in heaven, you get it all back |
In heaven |
Cause in heaven… |
In heaven… |
