Lyrics:

Diablo Motors had a hell of a sale downtown yesterday
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay
When I got there, the lot was bare, but the salesman said, 'Hold on
For a little cash, I got a two-tone Nash out behind my barn'

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 him one dance for a dime
If the devil danced in empty pockets
He'd have a ball in mine

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 into it, and that was all she wrote

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 him one dance for a dime
If the devil danced in empty pockets
He'd have a ball in mine

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


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 him one dance for a dime
If the devil danced in empty pockets
He'd have a ball in mine
