Momma told me, "Boy, you best behave,
|
'Cause Santa keeps a list of all his faves.
|
And if you don't shape up, you ain't gettin' squat."
|
But the devil on my shoulder's gettin' hot.
|
|
Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
|
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.
|
|
So he took me for a ride in his Cadillac,
|
Stolen from a cleptomaniac, at a horse-race track.
|
I said, "Sir, it's Christmas Eve I should be home in bed."
|
Instead, he said,
|
"You merry gentle men always bet on red."
|
|
The Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
|
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.
|
|
When you're done, you're really done.
|
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.
|
When all you wanted was a BB gun,
|
Santa Claus never did come.

|
|
When you're done, you're really done.
|
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.
|
|
So he took me for a ride in his big ol' sleigh.
|
We flew around the world in just one day.
|
Johnny Mathis sang.
|
|
I said, "Sir, what you got for me in that sled?"
|
Instead, he said,
|
"Boy, you been bettin' on a darker shade of red."
|
|
Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
|
Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
|
Johnny is singin',

(Johnny is singin',)

"Remember tonight:

If you gotta do wrong,
