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!
