[Fm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [N]
Brothers and sisters, instead of my usual sermon, we have with us tonight a surprise guest.
A man who started at the bottom and stayed there. _
A man who will reach the highlight of his career when he quits.
The man who whenever there's trouble you can always count on his being there and making it worse.
The man who chased y'all in here.
My enemy and yours, the devil. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] I love that, I love that.
Because I like [Gm] booze.
_ [Bb] Wine is a [Eb] mocker.
[N] Strong drinkers raging.
Uh, you ain't got nothing on you right now.
Got a little taste in the car, huh?
Now, some folks think that we haven't been entirely fair with the devil.
Right.
That's right.
They say that we've told our side of the story, but not his.
Right.
Tonight he'll have his chance.
Tonight, friends, we're gonna have a debate with the devil.
That's right.
In this corner, wearing the smile of purity.
_ And representing the good guys is me.
Get a good amen. _ _
I'm _ gonna _ _ _ _ keep that for myself.
_ My opponent, wearing the smirk of guilt, standing in $125 shoes,
representing the bad guys, is the devil.
_ [Eb] Boo!
[N] Yes, yes, yes.
_ Hi, hi.
I'm your friendly devil.
Don't listen to him.
Don't listen.
Now, friends, and you are all my friends.
Uh-oh, stealing my line.
Don't steal my line, devil.
Don't steal my line.
Wait your turn, Reverend.
I want to speak to you about the good things in life.
The fun things in life.
Now, can I get a cheer for the fun things?
Boo!
_ Good thinking, good thinking.
I love it, I love it.
Now, I'm here to say, enjoy yourselves.
Enjoy yourselves.
There ain't nothing wrong with cigarettes.
There ain't nothing wrong with whiskey.
And there ain't nothing wrong with fun-loving women.
Listen to that.
Listen.
Watch it, devil.
Watch out.
Watch it, devil.
Back off, devil.
Watch it.
Return to get to your friends.
Cigarettes, whiskey, and fun-loving women.
Watch out, devil.
I say to you, brothers and sisters, give up cigarettes and whiskey. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ What about fun-loving women?
You can't give up everything at once.
_ _ Don't rush me.
_ Don't rush me, Reverend.
Now, I've heard a lot of things referred to as evil.
But let me ask you this.
What's so evil about being evil?
After all, it's the evil men do that lives after them.
You want to be remembered, don't you, Chief?
And let me say something else to you.
Let me lay this on you, brethren.
Do unto others before they do it to you.
Watch out, devil.
Watch out.
Did I say something right?
Back up, devil.
That's where you made your first mistake.
Because this entire congregation knows that the main thing in life is to love thy neighbor every chance you get.
_ _ _ [Eb] Shame on you.
Shame on you.
[N] Can I get a neighbor?
What?
_ You've got to watch your mouth, devil.
Now, that's evil.
What?
Evil?
Evil ain't nothing but live spelled backwards.
Oh, I see the devil is a color.
_ Evil is devil without the D.
That's what it is.
Reverend.
Come on, now.
You know you've got to sin a little and you've got to gin a little.
Let yourself give in a little.
Now, that's the story of.
Let me hear it.
That's the story of.
That's the story of.
That's the story of.
That's the story of. Oh, _ _ [Bb] _ wow.
_ [Ab] _
[Eb] _ Wow.
[G] Wow. Ridiculous.
Watch it, devil.
I'm in here taking over my group.
Just watch.
Friends, I desire to rebut that rebuttal.
[N] I mean, rebuke that rebuttal.
Well, actually, I want to say a little more about that.
Now, you say gin a little.
Right.
I say to you, friends, who gave us the morning after the night before?
The devil.
_ Who gave us the miniskirt?
The devil.
Who lowered the miniskirt?
The devil. _ _
I don't know about him, but I had [Bb] nothing to do with it.
I was in Cincinnati doing a [N] one nighter. _
I say to you, friends, who's the door to door salesman of wrongdoing?
The devil.
I know it's not easy.
It's not easy to walk the straight and narrow.
Just try down the path of truth and goodness.
That's why you're walking along the road.
Need a strain to the left or the right.
Wham, up behind you comes the devil.
Back up, and he nudges you right off the beaten path.
And he leans over and he says into your ear, fast cars, fast horses, fast women.
Put your hands up and say, get away, devil.
Back up.
Back up.
The devil comes in every day, friends.
Every day the devil comes in.
And he makes work for idle hands.
He puts cards in them, puts chips in them, puts a bottle of gin in them.
And I say to you, brothers and sisters, drop those cards.
Let that gin splatter on the floor.
Just let it cover the floor.
The devil comes in every day.
Let him clean it up.
All _ [C] _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] right, cut that out.
I've had it.
I'm through being Mr.
Nice Guy around here.
My gang is going to take over.
[N] Come on, gang.
Oh, no you don't, devil.
Come on, gang.
You're not taking over around here.
Good beats bad.
Justice triumphs over evil.
No.
Right is mine.
No.
I'm not going to let you take over, devil.
Put it there, devil.
I'll wreck you.
[Eb] Friends, I'm going to wrestle the devil for the championship of the Church of What's Happening Now.
[N] You want to bet a little something on the side, devil? _
_ Gamblin' is evil.
I told you he was taking my lines. _
Okay, devil, you under the gun now.
Let's go.
Yeah, I got you now.
I've been waiting a long time to get [Eb] you, devil.
The devil's [Bb] strong, y'all.
Strong.
[Ab] Strong.
The devil's been taking crack from me.
Watch out, [Eb] devil.
Watch out, devil. Watch out.
Watch out, devil.

Uh-oh, uh-oh.
