The devil went down to Georgia

**ZorsT** · 13th December 2005, 20:51

So I got bored today....

The devil went down to Mapua. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cause
he was way behind, and he was willin' to make a deal, when he came across this young man
ridin' on a bike and ridin' it hot. And the devil jumped up on a traffic island and said,
"Boy, let me tell you what.

I guess you didn't know it but I'm a motorcyclist, too. And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll
make a bet with you. Now, you ride pretty good motorbike, boy, but give the devil his due. I'll bet
a tyre of gold against your soul, 'cause I think I'm better than you." The boy said, "My
name's Johnny, and it might be a sin. But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm
the best that's ever been."

Johnny, warm up your tyres and ride your motorbike hard, 'cause hell's broke loose in Mapua and
the devil deals the cards. And if you win you get this shiny tyre made of gold. But if you lose,
the devil gets your soul.

The devil put on his helmet and he said, "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his exaust tips
as they started to blow. And he rode the bike across the road and it made an evil hiss.
Then a gang of demons joined in and it went somethin' like this:

When the devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son, but sit down in that
chair right there and let me show you how it's done.

Fire on the mountain. Run, boys, run. The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun. Chicken in the
bread pan pickin' out dough. Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no.

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. And he laid that golden tyre
on the ground at Johnny's feet. Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try
again. 'Cause I told you once, you son of a BITCH, I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny, warm up your tyres and rev your motor hot, 'cause hell's broke loose in Mapua and
the devil slicks the track. And if you win you get this shiny tyre made of gold. But if you lose,
the devil gets your soul.

The devil put on his helmet and he said, "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his exaust tips
as they reved it up to go. And he rode the bike across the road and it made an evil hiss.
And there was brimstone in the burnt rubber smell, it went a little somethin' like this:

When the devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son, but sit down in that
chair right there and let me show you how it's done.

Fire on the pistons. Run, boys, run. The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun. Click it into gear man, spittin' out road. Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no.

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. And he laid that golden tyre
on the ground at Johnny's feet. Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try

How's that?

Devil went to Jamaica, he was lookin' to sell some weed.
He was doing fine they were standin' in line, it was excellent weed indeed!
When he came across this young man who was likewise peddling pot.
Devil slid down to the boy on the beach and said let me tell you what...
I guess you kinda figured I'm a reefer head of course, and after all this time Im a kinda sewer sorts.
Now your stuff smells ok but this could tranquilise a horse, I bet a million cash against your stash that mine is better than yours.
The boy said my name's Johnny and you aint smoked nothin yet,
one hit of this grass will kick your ass, you've got yourself a bet..
Johnny roll a ball of hash and make sure its a bomb, Cos devils got the kind of stuff they smoked in Veitnam.
You'll get a million smackaroos in cash if you can cope, but if you dont, the devil gets your dough...
The devil packed a bong with a lil Alcupulco gold...resin flew from his fingertips as he fired up his bowl.
He fill that chamber all the way and he took a mighty hit...and he passed it back and forth it gave them both a coughing fit.
When the bowl was finished Johnny said that stuff was great...but fill your lungs with some of this and prepare to vegitate..
Cannibis T, Mary Jane...devil's in the back yard frying his brain...Zig Zag's burnin with diggity-dang...hold on tight it'll hit you like a tank.
The devil knodded off 'cos he knew that he was stoned...and he asked if he could buy an ounce of that stuff that Johnny owned..
Johnny said Devil just come back if ya ever want a buzz...I done told you once you son of a bitch mine's the the best there ever was...
And they fired up doobies one by one...aint gonna stop til the bag is done...
Green as a bullfrog, sticky as glue...ready to get high , yes I do.......

Pfft, look at my profile mate, the hair is short enough. Unless you think I'm the one on the back wich means you have some issues. And I seem to collect job interviews, if only I could trade them in on a job.

What about this one? Yeah it's cheesy but oh well....

Long Way To The Shop

Ridin' down the footpath
Goin' to the store
Jump over the drive-ways
Want a sausage roll
Gettin' tired
Gettin' hungry
Gettin' beat up
Steal some money
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the shop
If you wanna sausage roll
It's a long way to the shop
If you wanna sausage roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try buyin' a sausage roll man
It's a long way to the shop
If you wanna sausage roll

Bakery, corner store
Make you wanna eat
Lady do you sell
Pastry with some meat
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Buyin' sausage rolls man

It's a long way to the shop
If you wanna sausage roll
It's a long way to the shop
If you wanna sausage roll
If you wanna be fat, and not lean
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the shop
If you wanna sausage roll
