Mildred Bailey - When That Man Is Dead And Gone lyrics

Satan, Satan thought up a plan, Dressed as a man Walking the earth and since he began The world is hell for you and me. But what a heaven it will be When that man is dead and gone. When that man is dead and gone. We'll go dancing down the street Kissing everyone we meet When that man is dead and gone. What a day to wake up on. What a way to greet the dawn. Hap- hap- happy, yes indeed! On the morning when we read That that man is dead and gone. We've got a date To celebrate The day we catch up with that one man spreading hate. His account is overdrawn. And his chances are in pawn. Some fine day the news will flash Satan with the small moustache Is asleep beneath the lawn When that man is dead and gone. Come on now, we're going to celebrate. He's the guy that's spreading hate. His account is overdrawn. And his chances are in pawn. Some fine day the news will flash Satan with the small moustache Is asleep beneath the lawn. When that man is dead and gone- What a day to wake up on! What a way to greet the dawn! When a certain man is dead and gone!
