lyrics

The Devil was into mischief
But the angels knew Richard too
If we prayed hard, would the devil lose heart?
They said a rosary or two

[And the prayers were answered
At least so it seemed
The Devil plays dirty
But Richard plays mean]

The Devil pushed him on a car
Richard got a Cadillac
One tank of OPEC, twenty-five bucks a crack
He sold it back

The Devil thought 3k was fine
Richard should settle for less
But Richard left town, Philadelphia bound
The Devil wasn’t at his best

The Devil was mighty upset
When Richard took accounting on
‘Richard’s a jerk, lets put him to work’
But he still found time for fun

The Devil had a trick up his sleeve
When Richard decided on law
I’ll have him learn junk, I know he will flunk
The Devil also lost on that draw

The Devil thought what can I do,
To bore him to death and to boot?
But then came Simone, to distract him some
Simone outdeviled him too

And the prayers were answered
Come judgment day
And the Devil’s headache
Ain’t going away
