A bunch of lil angels sitting in a row Up jumped the devil and next that you know Down fall one Down fall two Down fall the rest. Eh What can you do Oh a whoa me Oh a whoa my Ain't going to heaven when I die Oh a whoa me Oh a whoa my Ain't going to heaven when I die The devil's teeth are long and sharp He wears a halo, plays the harp He smells awfully bad but sure if pretty The devil looks a little bit like you and me Oh a whoa me Oh a whoa my Ain't going to heaven when I die Oh a whoa me Oh a whoa my Ain't going to heaven when I die There's only two people who know the bad things you do No, Mr. Clever, one isn't you One is just pretend, as least that I know The other? Well, speak of the devil What do you know Oh a whoa me Oh a whoa my Ain't going to heaven when I die Oh a whoa me Oh a whoa my Ain't going to heaven when I die
