Better Do It Right

Mama told me "boy you best behave"

Cause Santa keeps a list of all his faves

And if you don't shape up

You ain't getting squat

But the devil on my shoulders getting hot

Hotter than ever

Cool out of sight

If I'm gonna do wrong

I'm gonna do it right

So he took me for a ride in his Cadillac

Stolen from a kleptomaniac

At a horse race track

I said "Sir, its Christmas Eve I should be home in bed

Instead he said

"You merry gentlemen always bet on red"

The duke of deception

Malice and spite

If I'm gonna do wrong

I'm gonna do it right

When you're done

You're really done

Will you look back and say; "hey that was fun?"

When all he ever wanted was a b.b. gun

Santa Claus heaven become

When you're done

You're really done

Will you look back and say; "hey that was fun?"

So he took me for a ride in his big ol' sleigh

We flew around the world in just one day

And Johnny Mathis sang

I said "so what you got for me in that sled"

Instead he said "Boy you've been bettin' on a darker shade of red"

Hotter than ever

Cool out of sight

Duke of deception

Malice and spite

Johnny is singin'

In heaven tonight

If you gotta do wrong

You better do it right
