Verse 1:
Came into town, met her on the street
Proceeded to sweep her off her feet
And only a few weeks later
The two of them were saying “I do”
But nobody cared to congratulate her
They knew what he was up to
CHORUS:
Speak of the devil
Don’t look him in the eye
Speak of the devil
Don’t listen to his lies
The sooner you’ll realize
He’s the devil in disguise
Hear people whisper
It really is a shame
People are talking
They’re saying he’s to blame
All went according to his big plan
Now he’s a wealthy man
Verse 2:
Flew to Barbados for the honeymoon
Gone almost a month, oh but pretty soon
He returned with a story to tell
She went out for a midnight swim
And never came back to their hotel
But no one could pin it on him
(Repeat CHORUS)
Bridge:
She was just an innocent young thing
Never been out on a date
’Cause Daddy kept her under his wing
Something she began to hate
So when he asked her to be his wife
Well you all know what she said
Went slipping out in the dead of night
And off to Vegas to wed
(Repeat CHORUS, Instrumental Coda)
