Jazz Devil

When God appeared before me I was drowning in my pool

I was fifty over thirty but lookin' real cool

He said a life of tedious insights and an overflowing cup

Just don't cut the mustard I'm afraid you can't come up



I fell way down it seemed into a bottomless pit

A sign saying "Hotel Hades" was the only thing a-lit

Beelzebub was hangin' but he wouldn't cut no slack

He told me the big cat hath spoken I'm afraid you're going back as the

Jazz Devil. Full and greedy I'm the

Jazz Devil. Libido needy I'm the

Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix

Where you can call me agent double-oh six-six-six



I cruise the streets of London with just one thing on my mind

Gotta passport labelled fun of the interactive kind

But first I found some cats and they were howling at the moon

I told 'em you play the instruments and I'll play the buffoon



We broke into a sombre march called "Misery and Woe"

And then we upped the tempo 'til the juice began to flow

All a sudden this chick named Mimi just appeared right outta the blue

Sayin' I've been searchin' for someone and now I know who

Jazz Devil. Sick and racy I'm the

Jazz Devil. But very tasty I'm the

Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix

Where you can call me agent double-oh six-six-six



Me and Mimi settled down in the family kinda way

Won ten million on the lottery without no debt to pay

And in the wee small hours when there was no place left to spend

We'd open up each other so the days would never end



Some jealous cats caught wind of this and armed up to the teeth

They came in search of me and she with their pistols underneath

And they caught me going down a thing that made them just see red

And as Mimi hit the no return they filled me fulla lead



Damn… I'm dead!



When God appeared before me I was lyin' in a pool

I was fifty over thirty but lookin' real cool

He said a life of tedious insights and a tendency to crack

Just don't cut the mustard time to head on back



I fell way down I knew into a bottomless pit

(Oh no here we go)

The sign saying "Hotel Hades" is the only sign that's lit

Beezelbub was hangin' but he never cuts no slack

He says, the big cat hath spoken again you're going back as the

Jazz Devil. Every mornin hail the

Jazz Devil. Cos as long as days keep dawnin' I'm the

Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix

you know that I am agent double-oh six-six-six (wow)
