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 gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn

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

Well I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, and give 'em one dance for a dime

If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine

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, "Hey I'll tote the note"

The devil made me do it, talked me into it, that was all she wrote

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 'em one dance for a dime

If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine

They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play

Well I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay

(Oh yeah)

(Ah nah)

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

Yeah I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime

If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
