When God appeared before me I was drowning in my pool
I was fifty over thirty but lookin' real cool
He said a life of tedious insights and an overflowing cup
Just don't cut the mustard I'm afraid you can't come up
I fell way down it seemed into a bottomless pit
A sign saying "Hotel Hades" was the only thing a-lit
Beelzebub was hangin' but he wouldn't cut no slack
He told me the big cat hath spoken I'm afraid you're going back as the
Jazz Devil. Full and greedy I'm the
Jazz Devil. Libido needy I'm the
Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix
Where you can call me agent double-oh six-six-six
I cruise the streets of London with just one thing on my mind
Gotta passport labelled fun of the interactive kind
But first I found some cats and they were howling at the moon
I told 'em you play the instruments and I'll play the buffoon
We broke into a sombre march called "Misery and Woe"
And then we upped the tempo 'til the juice began to flow
All a sudden this chick named Mimi just appeared right outta the blue
Sayin' I've been searchin' for someone and now I know who
Jazz Devil. Sick and racy I'm the
Jazz Devil. But very tasty I'm the
Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix
Where you can call me agent double-oh six-six-six
