If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)
Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind my barn
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
Well, he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do
If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note"
The Devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the Devil likes to play
I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind my barn
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
Well, he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do
If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note"
The Devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the Devil likes to play
I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
