Lyrics:
The Devil Ain’t Lazy - written by Fred Rose in Oct. 1947
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
Runs around with sticks and stones
passes out his moans and groans
the devil ain’t no lazy bones
He works 24 hours a day
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
He likes to see us fight and fuss
makes us mean enough to cuss
then he blames it all on us
He works 24 hours a day
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
He travels like a lightnin’ streak
and strikes from town to town
and if he gets you when you’re weak
he’ll tear your playhouse down
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
He tells us he won’t hurt a fly
then he makes us steal and lie
keeps us sinnin’ ‘til we die

He works 24 hours a day
Alright……
(16 bar musical Interlude)
Oh the devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
He gets his pitchfork out each night
gives the folks an awful fright
I think he does it just for spite
He works 24 hours a day
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
Tells us how to find success
he knows we’ll wind up in distress
the de-vil is an aw-ful mess
He works 24 hours a day
He likes to see things scorch and burn
so don’t make no excuse
if he catches you he’ll turn you anyway but loose
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
The devil ain’t lazy – no sirree
So if ya’ think you’re strong and brave
smart enough to not behave
you’ve got one foot in the grave
He works 24 hours a day!
