If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Diablo Motors had a hell of a sale downtown yesterday Word got 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 my barn" [Chorus] 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 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 [Verse 2] 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, "I'll tote the note" The devil made me do it, talked me into it, and that was all she wrote [Chorus] 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 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 [Bridge] They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 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
