When the Devil is too busy
And deaths a bit too much
They call me, by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen Im Misfortune
To the Ladies Im Surprise
But call me by any name
Anyway its all the same
Im the fly in your soup
Im the pebble in your shoe
Im the demon in your bed
Im a bump on every head
Im the peel on which you slip
Im a pin in every hip
Im the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
And its so easy when youre evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because Im evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay Ill ever need!
While theres children to make sad
While theres candy to be had
while theres pockets left to pick
While theres grannies left to trip
down the stairs, Ill be there, Ill be waiting round
the corner
Its a game, Im glad Im in it
Cause theres one born every minute
And its so easy when youre evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because Im evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay Ill 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.
Im the fear that keeps you wake
Im the shadows on the wall
Im the monsters they become
Im the nightmare in your skull
Im a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
Im the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.
And its so easy when youre evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because Im evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay Ill ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay Ill ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay Ill ever need
It gets so lonely being evil
What Id do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when youre evil
Im lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need
