 When the Devil  is too busy
 And Death's a bit too much
 They call  on me by name you see,
 For my special touch.
 To the Gentlemen  I'm Miss Fortune
 To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
 But call  me by any name
Any  way it's all the same
 I'm the fly  in your soup
 I'm the pebble in your shoe
 I'm the pea  beneath your bed
 I'm a bump on every head
 I'm the peel  on which you slip
 I'm a pin in every hip
 I'm the thorn  in your side
 Makes you wriggle and writhe
 And it's so easy when you're evil
 This is the life you see
 The Devil  tips his hat to me
 I do it all because I'm evil
 And I do  it all for free Dm
 Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
 While there's children to make sad
 While there's candy to be had
 while there's pockets left to pick
 While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
 I'll be there I'll be waiting round the corner
 It's a game I'm glad I'm in it
 Cause there's one born every minute
 And it's so easy when you're evil
 This is the life you see
 The Devil tips his hat to me
 I do it all because I'm evil
 And I do it all for free
 Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
 I pledge my allegiance to all things dark
 And I promise on my damned soul
 To do as I am told Lord Beelzebub
 Has never seen a soldier quite like me
 Not only does his job but does it happily
 I'm the fear that keeps you awake
 I'm the shadows on the wall
 I'm the monsters they become
 I'm the nightmare in your skull
 I'm a dagger in your back
 An extra turn upon the rack
 I'm the quivering of your heart
 A stabbing pain a sudden start
 And it's so easy when you're evil
 This is the life you see
 The Devil tips his hat to me
 I do it all because I'm evil
 And I do it all for free
 Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
 And I do it all for free
 Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
 And I do it all for free
 Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
 It gets so lonely being evil
 What I'd do  to see a smile
 Even for a little while
And  no one loves you when you're evil
 I'm lying  though my teeth Dm
 Your tears are all the company I need
