When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on. / For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn. Chorus If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line. I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. Verse 2: Well he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do. If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you. Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note." / The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote. Chorus Bridge They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play. I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay. Chorus
