<br>

Jake:<br>

I'm not gonna tell you<br>

You're making a mistake<br>

Tell you not to go<br>

No I won't<br>

I'll only say<br>

What I've learned along my way<br>

The devil you know<br>

Beats the devil you don't<br>

We don't work<br>

In the best of situations<br>

We don't live very well<br>

We don't live in the neighborhood of heaven<br>

We live somewhere closer to hell<br>

Now we have learned<br>

To work around the situation<br>

Learned to hide<br>

Till the heat has passed<br>

You will learn a promise of salvation<br>

Can mask another inferno's blast<br>

The devil you know<br>

Beats the devil you don't<br>

That promised land<br>

Could turn out to be dry<br>

Once you're gone<br>

You might ask yourselves why<br>

Maybe you will<br>

Or maybe you won't<br>

But the devil you know<br>

Beats the devil you don't<br>

Oh yeah<br>

<br>

Roustabout #1:<br>

You don't know<br>

The world beyond the sideshow<br>

<br>

Roustabout #2:<br>

You don't know<br>

What Satan can plan<br>

<br>

Bearded Lady:<br>

You don't know<br>

The safety you'd be leaving<br>

<br>

Sheik:<br>

We're your family<br>

We're your clan<br>

<br>

Snake Girl:<br>

Here we're got<br>

Each other to depend on<br>

<br>

Harem Girl #2:<br>

Here you've got<br>

The best home you'll ever find<br>

<br>

Bearded Lady:<br>

Other folk<br>

Don't know how to take us<br>

<br>

Jake:<br>

The world out there can be so unkind<br>

The devil you know<br>

Beats the devil you don't<br>

His game of chance<br>

Just might be a scam<br>

<br>

<br>

Sheik:<br>

Don't take that chance<br>

<br>

Harem Girl #2, Sheik, Snake Girl:<br>

It's just a scam<br>

<br>

Jake, Roustabout #3:<br>

You can't play<br>

Then decide you should scram<br>

<br>

Jake, Roustabout #1, Roustabout #3, Sheik:<br>

Maybe you'll win<br>

Or maybe you won't<br>

But the devil you know<br>

<br>

Devil you know<br>

6th Exhibit:<br>

How can you<br>

Say that man's a devil?<br>

<br>

Roustabout #4:<br>

How can you<br>

Say he's wicked and bad?<br>

<br>

Geek:<br>

How can you<br>

Criticize an angel<br>

<br>

6th Exhibit, Geek, Roustabout #4:<br>

Promising more heaven<br>

Than they've ever had<br>

<br>

Fortune Teller:<br>

I'm a fortune teller<br>

I can see the future<br>

I can look at people<br>

See what's lying ahead<br>

Violet and Daisy<br>

I see you're bound for glory<br>

That man who was here<br>

Will do all that he said<br>

That man's not a devil<br>

No - Believe it I won't<br>

He's not a devil<br>

No - And miss this chance<br>

I hope that they don't<br>

No don't<br>

No don't<br>

No don't<br>

<br>

The "No" Group:<br>

What if he's a devil?<br>

<br>

The "Yes" Group:<br>

What if he's not?<br>

He could be an angel<br>

<br>

The "No" Group:<br>

That heaven forgot<br>

<br>

Fortune Teller:<br>

I think you may be jealous<br>

<br>

Jake:<br>

Jealous of what?<br>

<br>

All:<br>

That Violet and Daisy<br>

Might give him a shot<br>

<br>

The "No" Group:<br>

The devil you know<br>

Beats the devil you don't<br>

That promised land<br>

Could turn out to be dry<br>

So dry<br>

Once you're gone<br>

You might ask yourselves why<br>

Maybe you will<br>

But the devil you know<br>

But the devil you know<br>

But the devil you know<br>

<br>

The "Yes" Group:<br>

He's not a devil<br>

I won't believe it<br>

Believe it I won't<br>

Understand<br>

He could be a good guy<br>

Why?<br>

Or maybe you won't<br>

No, no, he's not a devil<br>

No, no, he's not a devil<br>

No, no, he's not a devil<br>

<br>

Jake:<br>

Alright<br>

Now we could argue all night<br>

Because we care about you two<br>

Maybe you will go<br>

Or maybe you won't<br>

But I hope you will remember<br>

That that mean old<br>

Money-grubbin'<br>

Gin-guzzlin'<br>

Name-callin'<br>

Devil you know<br>

Might be better than<br>

That smooth talkin'<br>
