Better Do It Right

Momma told me, "Boy, you best behave",
'Cause Santa keeps a list of all his favs
And if you don't shape up, you ain't gettin' squat
But the devil on my shoulder's gettin' hot

Hotter than Heaven, cool outta sight
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right

So he took me for a ride in 'is Cadillac,
Stolen from a kleptomaniac, at a horse-race track
I said, "Sir, it's Christmas Eve'eople should be home in bed."
Instead, he said,
"You merry gentlemen always bet on red."

The Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right

When you're done, you're really done
We look back and say, "Hey, that was fun."
When all you wanted was a BB gun,
Santa Claus never did come

When you're done, you're really done
We look back and say, "Hey, that was fun."

So he took me for a ride in 'is big ol' sleigh
We flew around the world in just one day
Johnny Mathis sang

I said, "Sir, what you got for me in that sled?"
Instead, he said,
"Boy, you been bettin' on a darker shade of red"

Hotter than Heaven, cool outta sight
Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite
Johnny is singin',
(Johnny is singin',)
Remember tonight:
If you gotta do wrong,
You better do it right
