Got him by the horns got him by the nose
Got him by the tail got him by the toes
You've got him by the hand
Let's see where it goes

It's the devil, devil on a string
It's the devil, devil on a string

Sets up an itch you'll never scratch
And if you did what would you catch?
It's the devil, devil on a string
It's the devil, devil on a string
I'm in with you, baby

Monday's child is full of cream
Tuesday's child is in a dream
Wednesday's Thursday's in a trance
Weekends in the house of chance
Sunday's child comes rolling by
With her salvation pie

Salvation pie, salvation pie
You gotta get a slice before you die

Got me gift-wrapped tied with a bow
Got me checkmate nowhere to go
Down in the groove
Where the devil-mints grow

It's the devil, devil on a string
It's the devil, devil on a string
It's the devil, devil on a string

You make me feel so special
You make me feel so special 10: 15
On Primrose Hill if the devil don't get me
You will

On Primrose Hill about 10: 15
On Primrose Hill about 10: 15
The light shines through the chestnut trees
Listening to the Three Degrees
