[Chorus]

For this is the Devil's year

For this is the Devil’s year

[Verse 1]

The year before into plague pits you fall

I am bored as a whore with your rich and your pour

But buck up, don't be so glum

This year will be so much fun

[Chorus]

For this is the Devil's year

For this is the Devil’s year

[Verse 2]

Let's bake some cakes with the fickle finger of fate

Sometimes it needs a helping hand

As Pudding Lane burns I hope the King learned

A timely lesson from me

[Chorus]

For this is the Devil's year

This is the Devil's year

[Verse 3]

I heard sinking the ships was a jolly good show

Oh, please, take my word, it's as good as silver with gold

They see the Devil as an English gent

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't she know?

[Chorus]

For this is the Devil's year

For this is the Devil’s year

To him
