You talk of all the many things that you have And you smile from day to day But no one has ever seen any of these And those smiles just fade away Someone keeps shouting out 'I want to know' Well I can't help singing this song When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too I know I can't go wrong I have to slip away today I've been invited down to stay Yes I feel my going down They say that eight fishes call men in the sea And use man-made for the bait And shoots all the people that fly in the sky That chance on his estate That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen And none but he can do They tell me this and they tell me that And tell me this is always, always something new You'd better believe it's so I made up my mind to go A whole world waits for you I'll sit with my head thrust down on your knees And smile for you again And you won't have to worry about anything now I'll be halfway there by ten It only takes a moment to decide on the move It all seems so absurd Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too Who never keeps his word I made up my mind to go You'd better believe it's so A whole world waits for me
