Why is the devil red'
Why ain't the devil blue'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil hue'

You give the devil a pitchfork,
You give the devil horns,
You give the devil sulphur and you give the devil corns,
Does he look like Robert DiNiro with them big, long fingernails'
Does he make you dance like Charo or sing like Jerry Vale'

But who's that looking like an angel of light'
Who's that dressed in a gown of white'
Who's that saying "Everything's all right"'
Who's that grinning in the dead of night'

Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'

You give the devil hot breath,
You put him on a tower,
You give the devil about fifteen toes,
You give him his devil power.

Who's that looking like an angel of light'
Who's that dressed in a gown of white'
Who's that saying "Everything's all right"'
Who's that grinning in the dead of night'

Yeah, who's that looking like an angel of light'
Who's that dressed in a gown of white'
Who's that saying "Everything all right'"
Who's that grinning in the dead of night'

Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
Why is the devil red'
