Please devil throw him to hell
He is enjoying himself
Under a spell!//

Morning breaks, another night accompl...

A penniless, lack-luck, begging gawper.
Constantly scrounging, loose change sifter,
Tirelessly searching, dime store drifter. Love turned me into a courtly fool,
A grinning, spinning, ignorant tool.
