Get the Hell Outta Him

by Stan Lawrence

Now people listen to me; it’s Heaven speakin’ through me
Don’t you be like those so blind
If you don’t see Satan on every corner waitin’
It’s ‘cause he’s sneakin’ up behind

When you’re dealin’ with the devil have your money on the table
Holdin’ back would be a deadly sin
‘Cause I ain’t bein’ funny, it’ll take a chunk o’ money
To get the hell outta him

Refrain
That’s right honey, it’ll take a chunk o’ money
To get the hell outta him

‘Tis a fearsome task and I really have to ask
In advance my customary fee
You’re have to be brave, you have to pray
But what you really have to have. . . is me

Now you devil be damned! Depart this man!
Back down to hell’s own rim
That’s right, Mr. Scratch hit the Primrose Path
And get the hell outta him

Refrain
That’s right, Mr. Scratch
Hit the primrose path

And get the hell outta him
And get the hell outta him
[Spoken] Get the hell out!
