On easy St. last night, the devil offered me a deal   He said, come on and take what you'd like   And later tell me how you feel      So I looked up all around on this uneasy street   I'd have been happy if I had found   Something simple to eat      But just as he asked me, Maureen walked past   I said, Mr. Devil, she is so refined   He said, I tricked you little brother   I tricked you. little brother   That tricky little mother is mine      I wish I was as good as I look   I wish I was that good   I wish I was as good as I look   Wish I could be that good      It was too late for me   I'd just set eyes on my heart's ideal   I was in ecstasy I was up and ready to steal      So I looked up all around on this uneasy street   I kept on looking until I found the prints of my beloveds feet   I kept up the chase 'til I looked right in her face      I said, my darling, you have angel's eyes   She said to this little brother   You knew, little brother   This is just his still mother's disguise      I wish I was as good as I look   I wish I was that good   I wish I was as good as I look   Wish I could be that good      I just could not believe someone   So beautiful could not be pure   I prayed for some reprieve   I had to save her from the devil's lure      But I guess the devil was bound to win   On this uneasy street   I had to know what was beneath her skin   I had to face up to the devil's heat      But I didn't have to ask   She just took off her mask   In a second it was clear to see      He said I tricked you, little brother   I tricked you little, brother   This tricky little mother is me, is me, is me      I wish I was as good as I look   I wish I was that good   I wish I was as good as I look   Wish I could be that good      I tricked you, little brother   Yeah, yeah   I tricked you, little brother
