Stop, look, and listen to me Last night at a quarter past three The Devil started dancin' He was entrancin' Hen he did the "Jangle: his own way His bones were rattlin' loudly As he began to shuffle proudly That's the way that Satan takes a holiday The music wasn't good But it was plenty spooky That 's the way he likes it night and day
The gentleman prefers to listen To aggravatin' rhythm That'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 day His job is not allurin' never-the-less quite endurin' Maybe that's why Satan takes a holiday
