The day the devil comes to getcha 
You know him by the way he smiles 
The day the devil comes to getcha 
He's a rusty truck with only twenty miles 
He's got bad brakes he's got loose teeth 
He's a long way from home 
The day the devil comes to getcha 
He's got a smile like a scar 
He knows the way to your house 
He's got the keys to your car 
And when he sells you his sport coat 
You say, Funny! That's my size 
Attention shoppers! 
Everybody please rise 
Give me back my innocence 
Get me a brand new suit 
Give me back my innocence Oh Lord! 
Cut me down to size 
Well you can hide under the porch 
And you can hide behind the couch 
But the day the devil comes to getcha 
He's right on time 
Here he comes 
Well I'm sick of hearin' bout your problems 
Yeah girlie you're breakin' my heart I
'm the original party animal Hey! Hey! Babaloo 
So don't come bangin' your Bibles 
'Cause you've been laughin' all the way to the bank And don't give me those crocodile tears 
'Cause you've been doing it for years 
I'm everywhere! 
Sign right here Mr. Jones 
The day  the devil comes to getcha 
He's a long way from home 
And you know he's gonna getcha 
Cause you're stuck in the middle 
Everybody please rise 
Give me back my innocence 
Get me a brand new suit 
Give me back my innocence Oh Lord! 
Cut me down to size 
Give me back my innocence 
Get me a new Cadillac 
Cause when I get on up to heave Lord 
You can have it all back 
Cause in heaven, you get it all back 
In heaven it all comes back 
Cause in heaven, you get it all back 
In heaven Cause in heaven...
In heaven...
