If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets) Songtext
von HIXTAPE

Diablo Motors had a hell of a sale downtown yesterday
Working around, no money down, take years and years to pay
When I got there, the lot was bare, but the salesman said, "Hold on"
For a little cash, I got a two-tone Nash out behind the barn

If the devil danced in empty pockets, he′d have a ball in mine
With a nine-foot grand, a ten-piece
Band, and a twelve-girl chorus line
Well, I'd raise some loot in a three-
Piece suit and give him one dance for a dime
If the devil danced in empty pockets, he′d have a ball in mine


Well, he said, "Friend, it ain't the end, let's see what I can do
If you own a home, I′ve got a loan tailor-made for you"
Then above the racket, a voice in my
Jacket said, "Hey, I′ll tote the note"
The devil made me do it, talked me into it, that was all she wrote

If the devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine-foot grand, a ten-piece
Band, and a twelve-girl chorus line
Yeah, I′d raise some loot in a three-
Piece suit, give him one dance for a dime
If the devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine

They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play
Well, I′d sell my soul to get out of
This hole, but there'd be hell to pay


If the devil danced in empty pockets, he′d have a ball in mine
With a nine-foot grand, a ten-piece
Band, and a twelve-girl chorus line
Yeah, I'd raise some loot in a three-
Piece suit, give him one dance for a dime
If the devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
