Intro
D5
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
G5
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
D5
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
G5
But call me by any name
A5
Any way it's all the same
Verse 1
D5
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
G5
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
D5
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
G5
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
Chorus
Bb5 D5
And it's so easy when you're evil
Bb5
This is the life you see
D5
The Devil tips his hat to me
Bb5 D5
I do it all because I'm evil
A5
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
G5 D5
It gets so lonely being evil
A5
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
G5 D5
And no one loves you when you're evil
A5
I'm lying though my teeth Dm
Your tears are all the company I need
