Oh, I got a message from below
'twas from a man I used to know
about a year or so ago,
before he departed
He is just as happy as can be,
I'll tell you what he said to me,
He said: "If ever you get heavy hearted..."
Pack up your sins
and go to the devil in Hades
you'll meet the finest of gentlemen
and the finest of ladies,
they'd rather be down below than up above,
Hades is full of thousands of
Joneses and Browns,
O'Hoolihans, Cohens and Bradys,
You'll hear a heavenly tune
that went to the devil
because the jazz bands
they started pickin' it,
then put a trick in it,
a jazzy kick in it,
they've got a couple
of old reformers in heaven,
making them go to bed at eleven,
pack up your sins and go to the devil,
and you'll never have to go to bed at all.
If you care to dwell where the weather is hot,
H E Double L is a wonderful spot
if you need a rest and you're all out of sorts
Hades is the best of the winter resorts,
Paradise doesn't compare
all the nice people are there
They come there from ev'rywhere
just to revel with Mister Devil
Nothing on his mind but a couple of horns,
Satan is waitin'
for his jazz band and his band
came from Alabam', with a melody hot
no one gives a damn if it's music or not
Satan's melody
makes you want to dance for ever,
and you never have to go to bed at all.
Pack up your sins
and go to the devil in Hades
you'll meet the finest of gentlemen
and the finest of ladies,
they'd rather be down below than up above,
Hades is full of thousands of
Joneses and Browns,
O'Hoolihans, Cohens and Bradys,
You'll hear a heavenly tune
that went to the devil
because the jazz bands
they started pickin' it,
then put a trick in it,
a jazzy kick in it,
they've got a couple
of old reformers in heaven,
making them go to bed at eleven,
pack up your sins and go to the devil,
and you'll never have to go to bed at all. |
