Health-food fagot with a bartered bride   Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride   Once had a friend with a cloven foot   Once he called the tune in a chequered quit      Great deceiver      In the door on the floor in a paper bag   There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag   She raised him up and she called him son   And she canonized the ground that he walked upon      Great deceiver      Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary   Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary   Cigarettes, ice cream, Cadillacs blue jeans      In the night he's a star in the Milky Way   He's a man of the world by the light of day   A golden smile and a proposition   And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition      Great deceiver      Sing hymns make love get high fall dead   He'll bring his perfume to your bed   He'll charm your life 'til the cold winds blow   Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show      Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary   Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary   Cadillacs, blue jeans, dixieland playing on the ferry   Cadillacs, blues jeans, drop a glass full of antique sherry
