When the Devil is too busy |
|
And death' s a bit too much |
|
They call on me, by name you see, |
|
For my special touch. |
|
|
|
To the Gentlemen, I' m Misfortune |
|
To the Ladies, I' m Surprise |
|
But call me by any name |
|
Anyway it' s all the same |
|
|
|
I' m the fly in your soup |
|
I' m the pebble in your shoe |
|
I' m the pea beneath your bed |
|
I' m a bump on every head |
|
I' m the peel on which you slip |
|
I' m a pin in every hip |
|
I' m the thorn in your side |
|
Makes you wriggle and writhe |
|
|
|
And it' s so easy when you' re evil |
|
This is the life, you see |
|
The Devil tips his hat to me |
|
I do it all because I' m evil |
|
And I do it all for free |
|
|
|
Your tears are all the pay I' ll ever need! |
|
|
|
While there' s children to make sad |
|
While there' s candy to be had |
|
While there' s pockets left to pick |
|
While there' s grannies left to trip down the stairs, |
|
I' ll be there, I' ll be waiting ' round the corner |
|
It' s a game, I' m glad I' m in it |
|
' Cause there' s one born every minute |
|
|
|
And it' s so easy when you' re evil |
|
This is the life, you see |
|
The Devil tips his hat to me |
|
I do it all because I' m evil |
|
And I do it all for free |
|
|
|
Your tears are all the pay I' ll ever need |
|
|
|
I pledge my allegiance to all things dark |
|
and I promise on my damned soul |
|
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub |
|
Has never seen a soldier quite like me |
|
Not only does his job, but does it happily. |
|
|
|
I' m the fear that keeps you wake |
|
I' m the shadows on the wall |
|
I' m the monsters they become |
|
I' m the nightmare in your skull |
|
I' m a dagger in your back |
|
An extra turn upon the rack |
|
I' m the quivering of your heart |
|
A stabbing pain, a sudden start. |
|
|
|
And it' s so easy when you' re evil |
|
This is the life, you see |
|
The Devil tips his hat to me |
|
I do it all because I' m evil |
|
And I do it all for free |
|
Your tears are all the pay I' ll ever need |
|
And I do it all for free |
|
Your tears are all the pay I' ll ever need |
|
And I do it all for free |
|
Your tears are all the pay I' ll ever need |
|
|
|
It gets so lonely being evil |
|
What I' d do to see a smile |
|
Even for a little while |
|
And no one loves you when you' re evil |
|
|
|
I' m lying though my teeth! |
|
Your tears are all the company I need |
