Hot Club of Cowtown - Devil Ain't Lazy lyrics

The Devil Aint Lazy - written by Fred Rose in Oct. 1947 The devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree Runs around with sticks and stones pa**es out his moans and groans the devil aint no lazy bones He works 24 hours a day The devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree He likes to see us fight and fuss makes us mean enough to cuss then he blames it all on us He works 24 hours a day The devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree He travels like a lightnin streak and strikes from town to town and if he gets you when youre weak hell tear your playhouse down The devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree He tells us he wont hurt a fly then he makes us steal and lie keeps us sinnin til we die He works 24 hours a day Alright (16 bar musical Interlude) Oh the devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree He gets his pitchfork out each night gives the folks an awful fright I think he does it just for spite He works 24 hours a day The devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree Tells us how to find success he knows well wind up in distress the de-vil is an aw-ful mess He works 24 hours a day He likes to see things scorch and burn so dont make no excuse if he catches you hell turn you anyway but loose The devil aint lazy no sirree The devil aint lazy no sirree So if ya think youre strong and brave smart enough to not behave youve got one foot in the grave He works 24 hours a day!
