Devil Ain't Lazy Lyrics - What Makes Bob Holler - Hot Club Of Cowtown

The Devil Aint Lazy - written by Fred Rose in Oct. 1947 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

Runs around with sticks and stones 

passes out his moans and groans 

the devil aint no lazy bones 

He works 24 hours a day 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

He likes to see us fight and fuss 

makes us mean enough to cuss 

then he blames it all on us 

He works 24 hours a day 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

He travels like a lightnin streak 

and strikes from town to town 

and if he gets you when youre weak 

hell tear your playhouse down 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

He tells us he wont hurt a fly 

then he makes us steal and lie 

keeps us sinnin til we die 

He works 24 hours a day 

Alright 

(16 bar musical Interlude) 

Oh the devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

He gets his pitchfork out each night 

gives the folks an awful fright 

I think he does it just for spite 

He works 24 hours a day 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

Tells us how to find success 

he knows well wind up in distress 

the de-vil is an aw-ful mess 

He works 24 hours a day 

He likes to see things scorch and burn 

so dont make no excuse 

if he catches you hell turn you anyway but loose 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

The devil aint lazy no sirree 

So if ya think youre strong and brave 

smart enough to not behave 

youve got one foot in the grave 

He works 24 hours a day!
