[00:04.000]VIRGINIA:
[00:04.150]This husband of mine, serene and sublime,
[00:07.734]Quintessence of devil-may-care
[00:10.762]Takes all in his stride what air may be tied
[00:14.519]'Til somebody sits in his chair
[00:18.049]He's a prince of a man, as meek as a lamb
[00:21.646]As long as he gets his own way
[00:25.095]But disturb his repose or tread on his toes
[00:28.867]And there'll be the devil to pay
[00:32.174]When he's good, he's exemption
[00:34.328]He's bad, well, don't mention
[00:36.064]But which way's the wind going to blow
[00:39.442]Should I stay with the devil or be on my way?
[00:42.788]
[00:46.402]So I dust myself down, dress myself up
[00:50.659]And look like the belle of the ball
[00:53.973]The birds in the trees may fall to their knees
[00:57.664]But he doesn't notice at all
[01:00.961]But if he should deceive me,
[01:03.032]Or hurt me, believe me
[01:04.860]I'm perfectly willing to go
[01:08.265]Far away
[01:08.880]LADIES:
[01:08.980]Far away from the devil
[01:11.900]VIRGINIA:
[01:11.968]Away
[01:14.900]LADIES:
[01:14.911]Far away from the devil
[01:15.600]VIRGINIA:
[01:15.611]Far away from the devil I know
[01:22.600]LADIES:
[01:22.633]He's a little devil, he's a little devil
[01:26.526]He's a little devil I know
[01:30.000]VIRGINIA:
[01:30.074]Stay with me
[01:31.085]Play with me
[01:33.688]Why must you leave me alone?
[01:37.070]His antics amaze in so many ways
[01:40.625]I wouldn't know where to begin
[01:44.064]If dinner's at eight and he gets home late
[01:47.648]Well guess who's in trouble: not him!
[01:50.901]But on some sunny morning
[01:53.157]I give you fair warning
[01:54.969]I might pack my suitcase and go
[01:58.064]So don't take me for granted
[02:00.195]I'm not just a string to his bow
[02:05.603]Show me a man with no faults at all
[02:09.228]Such creatures don't really exist
[02:12.573]But show me a man who's loving and true
[02:16.438]I'll cross this one right off my list
[02:19.508]So I'll never displease him,
[02:21.482]Scold him or tease him
[02:23.358]He's kind, and I won't let him go
[02:26.622]So I'll stay with the devil
[02:28.400]LADIES:
[02:28.461]Stay, stay with the devil
[02:30.900]VIRGINIA:
[02:30.911]Stay with the devil
[02:33.000]LADIES:
[02:33.023]Stay, stay with the devil
[02:34.899]VIRGINIA:
[02:34.901]Stay with the devil I know
[02:42.323]Though his bark is alarming
[02:45.750]His charm is disarming
[02:49.184]But unnecessarily so
[02:55.353]For I'll stay with the devil
[03:00.400]LADIES:
[03:00.480]Stay, stay with the devil
[03:03.300]LADIES:
[03:03.343]Stay, stay with the devil
[03:04.200]VIRGINIA:
[03:04.297]Stay with the devil
[03:04.600]VIRGINIA:
[03:04.610]Stay with the devil
[03:07.423]Cross my heart on a level
[03:11.088]I'll stay with the devil I know!
text lyrics
VIRGINIA:
This husband of mine, serene and sublime,
Quintessence of devil-may-care
Takes all in his stride what air may be tied
'Til somebody sits in his chair
He's a prince of a man, as meek as a lamb
As long as he gets his own way
But disturb his repose or tread on his toes
And there'll be the devil to pay
When he's good, he's exemption
He's bad, well, don't mention
But which way's the wind going to blow
Should I stay with the devil or be on my way?
So I dust myself down, dress myself up
And look like the belle of the ball
The birds in the trees may fall to their knees
But he doesn't notice at all
But if he should deceive me,
Or hurt me, believe me
I'm perfectly willing to go
Far away
LADIES:
Far away from the devil
VIRGINIA:
Away
LADIES:
Far away from the devil
VIRGINIA:
Far away from the devil I know
LADIES:
He's a little devil, he's a little devil
He's a little devil I know
VIRGINIA:
Stay with me
Play with me
Why must you leave me alone?
His antics amaze in so many ways
I wouldn't know where to begin
If dinner's at eight and he gets home late
Well guess who's in trouble: not him!
But on some sunny morning
I give you fair warning
I might pack my suitcase and go
So don't take me for granted
I'm not just a string to his bow
Show me a man with no faults at all
Such creatures don't really exist
But show me a man who's loving and true
I'll cross this one right off my list
So I'll never displease him,
Scold him or tease him
He's kind, and I won't let him go
So I'll stay with the devil
LADIES:
Stay, stay with the devil
VIRGINIA:
Stay with the devil
LADIES:
Stay, stay with the devil
VIRGINIA:
Stay with the devil I know
Though his bark is alarming
His charm is disarming
But unnecessarily so
For I'll stay with the devil
LADIES:
Stay, stay with the devil
LADIES:
Stay, stay with the devil
VIRGINIA:
Stay with the devil
VIRGINIA:
Stay with the devil
Cross my heart on a level
I'll stay with the devil I know!
