[Verse]

Everyone tells me he's no good

He doesn't love me like he should

I would forget him if I only could


[Chorus]

He's a demon

He's a devil

He's a doll


[Verse]

That man can look me in the eye

And tell the biggest, sweetest lie

And I forget that lipstick on his tie


[Chorus]

He's a demon

He's a devil

A doll


[Verse]

Sometimes I make up my mind

That I'll stop being so blind

And tell him off real bad


[Bridge]

But then he turns on those charms

And there I am in his arms

And I forget why I'm mad


[Verse]

I ought to tell him "drop dead!"

But I keep loving him instead

My momma must have dropped me on my head


[Chorus]

He's a demon

He's a devil

A doll


[Verse]

Sometimes he thrills me through and through

Sometimes he's sweet, sometimes he's true

Sometimes I wish he were in Timbuktu


[Chorus]

He's a demon

He's a devil

He’s a doll


[Verse]

He says he'll call for me late at night

And take me out somewhere to dine

Then staggers in and sings "Sweet Adeline"


[Chorus]

He's a darling

He's a dreamboat

He's a dog


[Bridge]

I had the measles at two, the chicken pocks and the flu

My whooping cough was grim

I had the itch and the mumps, the poison ivy and clumps

To top it, now I've got him


[Verse]

He's a palooka, he's a brute

He drives me crazy but he's cute

Why do I love a guy I ought to shoot


[Chorus]

He's a demon

He is a devil

He is a doll
