You talk of all the many things that you have   And you smile from day to day   But no one has ever seen any of these   And those smiles just fade away   Someone keeps shouting out "I want to know"   Well I can't help singing this song   When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too   I know I can't go wrong      I have to slip away today   I've been invited down to stay   Yes I feel my going down      They say that eight fishes call men in the sea   And use man-made for the bait   And shoots all the people that fly in the sky   That chance on his estate   That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen   And none but he can do   They tell me this and they tell me that   And tell me this is always, always something new      You'd better believe it's so   I made up my mind to go   A whole world waits for you      I'll sit with my head thrust down on your knees   And smile for you again   And you won't have to worry about anything now   I'll be halfway there by ten   It only takes a moment to decide on the move   It all seems so absurd   Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too   Who never keeps his word      I made up my mind to go   You'd better believe it's so   A whole world waits for me
