Big Rude Jake - Dinner With the Devil lyrics

rate me

When the Devil came to dinner

Our mom was quite impressed

She said, “ Why can’t you be more like

Our esteemed satanic guest?”

And he always knows just what to say

And exactly how to behave

And it makes for such a pleasant stay

As he plots to steal our souls away

And you may call it irony when coincidence collides

But I’ve had dinner with the devil and I have seen the light

And you may call it righteousness when civility survives

But I’ve had dinner with the Devil and I know nice from right

And no one could believe it when the nicest guy in town

Took an axe as big as him and chopped his family down

And he was careful when he spoke

To never tell a dirty joke

Nor ever swore or even smoked

Or interrupted other folks

And everyone was baffled when the nicest girl we knew

Knocked off a local Grocery with a loaded .32

She never wore her dress too tight

Or ever stayed out late at night

Or ever strayed from teacher’s sight

‘Cause she was always so polite

And our mom says she’s changed her mind about the devil’s brood

They may be evil, so she thinks, but at least their never Rude!

And hasn’t he got lovely hair

And hasn’t he got looks to spare

With elegance and graceful flair

As he pulls out a lady’s chair<br />

<br />
