Satan Takes A HolidayTommy Dorsey by Larry ClintonStop, look, and listen to me,Last night at a quarter past threeThe Devil started dancin'He was entrancin'hen he did the "Jangle: his own wayHis bones were rattlin' loudly,As he began to shuffle proudly,That's the way that Satan takes a holidayThe music wasn't good,But it was plenty spooky,That 's the way he likes it night and dayTeh gentleman prefers to listenTo aggravatin' rhythmThat's the way Satan takes a holiday.Watch out, He's comin' out,And then you'll shout unless you're good, knock wood.He's really rather goofy tryin' to be spooky, But he has to do it day by dayHis job is not allurin' never-the-less quite endurin'Maybe that's why Satan takes a holidayFrom: "David B Voss"
