[Intro]
Dm
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
Gm
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
Dm
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
Gm
But call me by any name
A
Any way it's all the same
[Verse 1]
Dm
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
Gm
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
Dm
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
Gm
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
And it's so easy when you're evil
Bb
This is the life you see
Dm
The Devil tips his hat to me
Bb Dm
I do it all because I'm evil
A
And I do it all for free Dm
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
[Verse 2]
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there I'll be waiting round the corner
It's a game I'm glad I'm in it
Cause there's one born every minute
[Chorus]
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
I pledge my allegiance to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told Lord Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job but does it happily
[Verse 3]
I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain a sudden start
[Chorus 2]
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
[Outro]
Gm Dm
It gets so lonely being evil
A
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
Gm Dm
And no one loves you when you're evil
A
I'm lying though my teeth Dm
Your tears are all the company I need
