Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar now

I have no money to pay my rent
All my money has been spent
I pray to God, get no reply
Satan, please hear my cry

Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar now

All I see is pain and death
And lots of people with bad breath
They say the world has gone to Hell
That would be just as well

If you could spare a dime, that would sure be grand
Won't you come up and lend a helping hand?
I sit here with no food upon my shelves
'Cause all the "good" people want the money for themselves

Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar now

The IRS it really sucks
Uncle Sam took all my bucks
They buy big bombs it makes me mad
You wouldn't be half so bad

Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar now

If you could spare a dime, that would sure be grand
Won't you come up and lend a helping hand
I sit here with no food upon my shelves
'Cause all the "good" people want the money for themselves

Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar now
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar
Satan, Satan, lend me a dollar now
