Dirty Spirit Rag Lyrics

Toss back the doors, dear, welcome the new ghost

And it's invite-only, but it's a damn long list

And each new lovely is afforded a guest

And the evening's gathering is only beginning

And what with the way the champagne is flowing

You can tell, even without knowing

That we'll be going and going

And going and going!



And you can't go spittin' in the devil's eye

And then walk 'round frontin' his sly grin

'Cause dear, there's always gonna be hell to pay

And it's here with us you'll have to stay



You set up a secret triangle

And in another woman's home, with intent to mangle

Took her husband for a ride

In the middle of the night

It went farther than you anticipated

You meant no harm, just out for amusement

Now she's left him with such a mess of pieces

His anger's quickly rising, don't stick around to see him mean it!



And you can't go spittin' in the devil's eye

And then walk 'round frontin' his sly grin

'Cause dear, there's always gonna be hell to pay

And it's here with us you'll have to stay



Oh, and with your dirty spirit

You're entitled to forever relive it!

In this eternal ball, it's pointless to struggle

So we all waltz our similar shuffle

Similar shuffle

Similar shuffle!
