 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 gotta two-tone  Nash out behind the 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 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.
 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 in  to it, and that was all she wrote.
 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.
