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.
C7 C#dim G/D B7/D# E A7 D7 G
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the 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 'em 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."
C7 C#dim G/D B7/D# E A7 D7 G
The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
