(chorus)

There's a little red devil behind the pearly gates

Always spreading rumors, bitterness and hate.

When I get weak my mouth gets too limber

And I just can't control that unruly member.

(Verse 1)

Betty winked at Tommy White passing through the hall

So I told everybody between these four walls.

The story got bigger as it reached the playground floor

Now Betty and Tommy ain't my buddies anymore.

(chorus)

There's a little red devil behind the pearly gates

Always spreading rumors, bitterness and hate.

When I get weak my mouth gets too limber

And I just can't control that unruly member.

(Verse 2)

I was running late and racing through town

When somewhere behind me I heard that siren sound

That demon yelled out while a cop stood by my car,

"Who the Hell do you think you are?"

(chorus)

There's a little red devil behind the pearly gates

Always spreading rumors, bitterness and hate.

When I get weak my mouth gets too limber

And I just can't control that unruly member.

(Verse 3)

Me and my woman, got a license to fight

But I'm in the dog house for what I said last night

While we were fussing, he sprang from my lips,

"You look like your momma, down around the hips!"

(chorus)

There's a little red devil behind the pearly gates

Always spreading rumors, bitterness and hate.

When I get weak my mouth gets too limber

And I just can't control that unruly member.
