You talk of all the many things that you have |
|
And you smile from day to day |
|
But no one has ever seen any of these |
|
And those smiles just fade away |
|
Someone keeps shouting out 'I want to know' |
|
Well I can't help singing this song |
|
When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too |
|
I know I can't go wrong |
|
I have to slip away today |
|
I've been invited down to stay |
|
Yes I feel my going down |
|
They say that eight fishes call men in the sea |
|
And use man-made for the bait |
|
And shoots all the people that fly in the sky |
|
That chance on his estate |
|
That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen |
|
And none but he can do |
|
They tell me this and they tell me that |
|
And tell me this is always, always something new |
|
You'd better believe it's so |
|
I made up my mind to go |
|
A whole world waits for you |
|
I'll sit with my head thrust down on your knees |
|
And smile for you again |
|
And you won't have to worry about anything now |
|
I'll be halfway there by ten |
|
It only takes a moment to decide on the move |
|
It all seems so absurd |
|
Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too |
|
Who never keeps his word |
|
I made up my mind to go |
|
You'd better believe it's so |
|
A whole world waits for me |
