10 knots

d-a-d

my kitchen floor started cracking

and out jumped a man

big

red and horny

i was shaking the devil's hand

you've got hell of a reputation

and that's the name of my game

and i've been digging all night

'cause i heard your name

got a mean main reason have no fear

but first we'll play some poker

and have a warm beer

let's play a little poker

and have a nice hot beer

i will smash your windows

burn your mail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i can eat a horse

chew a nail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

d-a-d wouldn't cross his trail

'cause i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

he's the toughest man and he can't fail

but i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i sat down to the table

with the man that i once feared

he was drinking

humming

drinking

and scratching his beard

so we drank for about a fortnight

it seemed like some stupid test

still i was sitting upright

doing the things that i do best

but the poor devil looked a mess

i will smash your windows

burn your mail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i can eat a horse

chew a nail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

d-a-d wouldn't cross his trail

'cause i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

he's the toughest man and he can't fail

but i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

though he was red

he seemed kind of pale

then i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i dumped him in his hole

heard the echoes of his scream

hey boyscout from below

now tell me who's mean

i will smash your windows

burn your mail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i can beat a horse chew nail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i'm so tough i could kick a whale

'cause i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i'm so mean i would eat a snail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i will smash your windows

burn your mail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i can eat a horse

chew a nail

i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail

i'm so rough i spent summer in jail

'cause i tied 10 knots on the devil's tail
