Stop, look, and listen to me,
|
Last night at a quarter past three
|
|
The Devil started dancin'
|
He was entrancin'
|
hen he did the "Jangle: his own way
|
His bones were rattlin' loudly,
|
As he began to shuffle proudly,
|
That's the way that Satan takes a holiday
|
|
The music wasn't good,
|
But it was plenty spooky,
|
That 's the way he likes it night and day
|
Teh gentleman prefers to listen
|
To aggravatin' rhythm
|
That's the way Satan takes a holiday.
|
|
Watch out, He's comin' out,
|
And then you'll shout unless you're good, knock wood.
|
He's really rather goofy tryin' to be spooky,
|
But he has to do it day by day
|
His job is not allurin' never-the-less quite endurin'
|
Maybe that's why Satan takes a holiday
|
