Do A Little This - A Little That 1920

Oh, the Devil's after me,
Yes, I said the Devil's after me;
Some of us he gets with wine,
down where the bright lights shine,
but he's springing something new on me.
He sends his band with instruments,
My soul with music he torments
The queer strains that they play
produce a wicked sway,
a slave am I
to their dev'lish harmony.

Oh that music makes me
do a little this,
do a little that,
Oh, that music takes me,
to my Paradise,
Lawdy ain't it nice
Hear those blues,
how they wait
makes you do a dance
that would put you in jail,
say a pray'r for me,
and say it twice
Oh, forgive me if
I do a little this,
do a little that,
I'm beyond redemption
but you'll always find it's true somehow,
When you hear that trombone quivering
makes you want to shake most ev'ry thing
Jazz band,
the Devil has sent you for me.

Oh that music makes me
do a little this,
do a little that,
Oh, that music takes me,
to my Paradise,
Lawdy ain't it nice
Hear those blues,
how they wait
makes you do a dance
that would put you in jail,
say a pray'r for me,
and say it twice
Oh, forgive me if
I do a little this,
do a little that,
I'm beyond redemption
but you'll always find it's true somehow,
When you hear that trombone quivering
makes you want to shake most ev'ry thing
Jazz band,
the Devil has sent you for me.

Oh, the Devil's got me now,
Yes, I said the Devil's got me now;
There are folks who hate his sight,
I'm with him ev'ry night,
He has ways I can't resist somehow.
His music has a strong effect
a world of shoulders he has wrecked,
I've heard some mortals tell
about this place called Hell,
But I don't care
it's just Heaven to me now;

Oh that music makes me
do a little this,
do a little that,
Oh, that music takes me,
to my Paradise,
Lawdy ain't it nice
Hear those blues,
how they wait
makes you do a dance
that would put you in jail,
say a pray'r for me,
and say it twice
Oh, forgive me if
I do a little this,
do a little that,
I'm beyond redemption
but you'll always find it's true somehow,
When you hear that trombone quivering
makes you want to shake most ev'ry thing
Jazz band,
the Devil has sent you for me.

Oh that music makes me
do a little this,
do a little that,
Oh, that music takes me,
to my Paradise,
Lawdy ain't it nice
Hear those blues,
how they wait
makes you do a dance
that would put you in jail,
say a pray'r for me,
and say it twice
Oh, forgive me if
I do a little this,
do a little that,
I'm beyond redemption
but you'll always find it's true somehow,
When you hear that trombone quivering
makes you want to shake most ev'ry thing
Jazz band,
the Devil has sent you for me.
