Lyrics

Satan Takes A Holiday Tommy Dorsey by Larry Clinton Stop, look, and listen to me, Last night at a quarter past three The Devil started dancin' He was entrancin' hen he did the "Jangle: his own way His bones were rattlin' loudly, As he began to shuffle proudly, That's the way that Satan takes a holiday The music wasn't good, But it was plenty spooky, That 's the way he likes it night and day Teh gentleman prefers to listen To aggravatin' rhythm That's the way Satan takes a holiday. Watch out, He's comin' out, And then you'll shout unless you're good, knock wood. He's really rather goofy tryin' to be spooky, But he has to do it day by day His job is not allurin' never-the-less quite endurin' Maybe that's why Satan takes a holiday
