Intro:
We keep jammin'
We be rockin'
We keep jammin'
We be rockin'
Chorus:
Shut de do', keep out the devil,
shut de do', keep the devil in the night.
Shut de do', keep out the devil,
light the candle everything's alright,
light the candle everything's alright.
Verse 1:
Oh when I was a baby child,
(shut de do', keep out the devil),
good and bad was just a game,
(shut de do', keep the devil in the night).
Many years and many trials,
(shut de do', keep out the devil),
they proved to me they're not the same,
(shut de do', keep the devil in the night).
Chorus
Verse 2:
Well Satan is an evil charmer,
(shut de do', keep out the devil),
he's hungry for a soul to hurt,
(shut de do', keep the devil in the night).
And without your holy armour,
(shut de do', keep out the devil),
he'll eat you for dessert,
(shut de do', keep the devil in the night).
Chorus
Bridge:
Said a hey, hey, hey, shut de do',
hey, hey, hey, shut de do',
hey, hey, you better shut de do;
say a prayer and he won't be back no more,
say a prayer and he won't be back no more.
Verse 3:
My momma used to sing this song,
(shut de do', keep out the devil),
my papa used to sing it too,
(shut de do', keep the devil in the night).
I have grown a little older,
(shut de do', keep out the devil),
so now I sing this song for you,
(shut de do', keep the devil in the night).
Chorus
Ending:
Light the candle everything's alright,
light the candle everything's alright.
