Lyrics:

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



They say that eight fishes call 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 me
