The devil started dancin'
He was quite entrancing
When he did the jangle his own way
His bones were rattling loudly
As he began to shuffle proudly
That's the way the Satan takes a holiday
The music wasn't good but it was plenty spooky
That's the way he likes it, night and day
The gentlemen prefers to listen to aggravating rhythm
That's the way the Satan takes a holiday
Watch out, he's coming out
And then you'll shout
And let's do good, knock wood
He's really rather goofy
Trying to be spooky
But he has to do it day by day
His job is not alluring
Never the less it's quite enduring
And maybe that's why Satan takes a holiday
Watch out, he's coming out
And then you'll shout
And let's do good, knock wood
He's really rather goofy
Trying to be spooky
But he has to do it day by day
His job is not alluring
Never the less it's quite enduring
And maybe that's why Satan takes a holiday
