He fell into a bottle Met the Devil on the way The Devil chose to ask him "How long d'ya think you'll stay" He thought a while and smiled I'm just here to look around I'm not sure if I'm staying "How much whiskey have I downed?" I'm talking to the Devil It's enough to make you think "Son, you've been drunk a month" "you've made it to the brink" "You offered up your soul to me" "A week or to ago" "But at the rate that you were drinking" "There was no need to show" "I figured you'd know when to stop" "Or at least give it a try" "But the rate you were consuming" "I thought you might just die" "And then I'd have you anyway" "We wouldn't have to deal" "It's like praying with an Atheist" "Imagine how I'd feel" "You prayed to God, and then to me" "You offered up your soul" "You said you'd never drink again" "If I would make you whole" "But Man, you drank like crazy" "Southern Comfort, Jim Beam too" "You know, we thought we had ya" "There's no way you'd pull through" "I figured, I come up and see" "take your soul, and get it cheap" "I'd leave you there to sober up" "Leave you lying in a heap" "But, whats his name..sent in some help" "An angel he sent forth" "And said "You cannot take his soul just yet" "He knows not what it's worth" "I told him that you called me "The deal was nearly set The Angel said you get his soul But what does this boy get? I thought and knew I'd blown it You were getting nothing in return I jumped the line a little Just hoping you would burn But, God...That Goody Two Shoes Put a challenge on the floor We would fight to see who got you Where'd you want to finish more So, we're off on a small road trip Off to see where you will go But, boy...the way you drink that stuff" "I'm already sure I know" "It may seem like a cliche'" "I'm sure you've seen it loads" "It's in every God and Devil movie" You know it as the crossroads My champion plays you to win The loser gets your soul You play guitar or something else At least that is the goal "I don't play any music" "I can't play the guitar" "I can't keep tune when whistling" "Can't find the jukebox at the bar" "OK then...we'll do something else" "You know you'll still be mine" "It would have been much better" "But, I'll still win you...that's fine" "Singings out....can you tell a joke" "nope and surely nope" "**** it....oops too late" "I'd have pulled out old Bob Hope" "You don't steal jokes the way he did" "And not end up down here" "I wish I didn't grab his soul" "I wanna tell ya's all I hear" " Ok then what is it you do? "What contest shall we wage" "I've got a super show room there" "What can you do up on stage?" "Dance?".."nope"..."juggle?"...nope "What can you do real well?" "Can you play a golden fiddle?" "We've got four of them in hell" "We've had showdowns of all shape and size" "We've done all that one can do" "We've played music, danced and jitterbugged" "And now...I'm stuck with you" "Your'e boring lad, you know that kid" "God will win your soul no sweat" "And frankly, you're a failure" "You're souls not that good to get" "I thought I had a winner" "A man whose life was run by vice" "But, here you are a loser" "And I could have lost you twice!" "I should have let God have you" "I'll be marked out as a fool" "For the soul The Devil's seeking" "Should be worthy as a rule" " I know" he said aloud "It took some time to think" "The one thing that I'm good at" "I can really chug a drink" "You saw me on my ******" "You know I'll do you proud" "I think I'd rather stay down here" "I think I like the crowd" That's different, thought The Devil He's taken up my side There's nothing in the rule book It's not a cheat....I've tried God...he just won't like it It's not been done before He comes along to save you It's your soul he's fighting for He has to have a champion One to come and take you on I've got all the rock stars And the Rat Pack...bring it on. Five rounds....five shots The first one finished wins I know you'll like it down here boy There's a multitude of sins I will pick for two rounds And God will pick the rest Contrary to popular belief He still thinks he's the best The contest is a snoozer First Jim Beam and then Old Crow And God will have his choices He will lose and then he'll go At this point one more Angel Came with choices wrapped in silk God would like the last drinks To each be a large milk Your kidding right, Milk you say His soul is mine for sure Let's put a little extra on Let's bet a little more The Angel said, God is prepared To do a bet...a one-off If you should win he says next year The Leafs will make the play-offs The contest waged and God did win Four rounds easily hurdled Then finally the ***** and milk Got mixed and the milk curdled The Devil knew the soul he lost Would come again,....no fear He knew that another hopeless soul Would soon come bend his ear....
