You talk of all the many things that you have
 
 And you smile from day to day
 
 But no-one has ever seen any of these
 
 And those smiles just fade away
 
 Someone keeps shouting out 'I want to know'
 
 Well I can't help singing this song
 
 When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too
 
 I know I can't go wrong
 
  
  I have to slip away today
 
 I've been invited down to stay
 
 Yes I feel my going down
  
 
 He says they're more fishes than men in the sea
 
 And use man-made for the bait
 
 And shoots all the people that fly in the sky
 
 That chance on his estate
 
 That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen
 
 And none but he can do
 
 They tell me this and they tell me that
 
 And tell me this is always, always something new
  
 
 You'd better believe it's so
 
 I made up my mind to go
 
 A whole world waits for you
  
 
 I'll sit with my head thrust down on your knees
 
 And smile for you again
 
 And you won't have to worry about anything now
 
 I'll be halfway there by ten
 
 It only takes a moment to decide on the move
 
 It all seems so absurd
 
 Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too
 
 Who never keeps his word
  
 
 I made up my mind to go
 
 You'd better believe it's so
 
 A whole world waits for you
