When the Devil Says How Do Ya Do

9.30.2023

He’ll let you down

Every time you turn around

My advice to you

Stop turning around

Keep him in your sights

But don’t make a sound

When the devil says

How do ya do

Stick the seven deadly sins

Into To-Don’t list bins

Don’t focus on life

Through his fish-eye lens

You may be at sea-level

But you’ll still get the bends

When the devil says

How do ya do

As he sashays a devilish spin

On Carly Simon’s gavotte

In a snake’s whisper

Tries to coax you to dance

Close your eyes

Plug your ears

Get the hell out of Dodge

Not a chance in hell

You still gotta chance

But you think you do

It’s a fool’s romance

When the devil says

How do ya do

And now

He’s tryin’ to say it to you
