Lyrics
Satan Satan thought up a plan, dressed as a man
Walkin’ the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a Heaven it will be
Chorus
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
We’ll go dancing down the street
Kissing ev’ryone we meet
When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
some fine day the news will flash
Satan with a small mustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone
Chorus
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
We’ll go dancing down the street
Kissing ev’ryone we meet
When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Some fine day the news will flash
Satan with a small mustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
When a certain man is dead and gone
