Lyrics
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
For a little cash, I got a two-tone Nash out behind my barn
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 12 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
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"
"The devil made me do it, talked me into," and that was all she wrote
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 12 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
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
(Oh, yeah, baby)
(All night)
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 12 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
