The Day 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… |
