Lyrics

Jake: I'm not gonna tell you
 You're making a mistake
 Tell you not to go
 No I won't
 I'll only say
 What I've learned along my way
 The devil you know
 Beats the devil you don't
 We don't work
 In the best of situations
 We don't live very well
 We don't live in the neighborhood of heaven
 We live somewhere closer to hell
 Now we have learned
 To work around the situation
 Learned to hide
 Till the heat has passed
 You will learn a promise of salvation
 Can mask another inferno's blast
 The devil you know
 Beats the devil you don't
 That promised land
 Could turn out to be dry
 Once you're gone
 You might ask yourselves why
 Maybe you will
 Or maybe you won't
 But the devil you know
 Beats the devil you don't
 Oh yeah
 (Roustabout #1)
 You don't know
 The world beyond the sideshow
 (Roustabout #2)
 You don't know
 What Satan can plan
 (Bearded Lady)
 You don't know
 The safety you'd be leaving
 (Sheik)
 We're your family
 We're your clan
 (Snake Girl)
 Here we're got
 Each other to depend on
 (Harem Girl #2)
 Here you've got
 The best home you'll ever find
 (Bearded Lady)
 Other folk
 Don't know how to take us
 (Jake)
 The world out there can be so unkind
 The devil you know
 Beats the devil you don't
 His game of chance
 Just might be a scam
 (Harem Girl #2, Sheik, Snake Girl)
 It's just a scam
 (Jake, Roustabout #3)
 You can't play
 Then decide you should scram
 (Jake, Roustabout #1, Roustabout #3, Sheik)
 Maybe you'll win
 Or maybe you won't
 But the devil you know
 (Bearded Lady, Harem Girl #2, Roustabout #2)
 Devil you know
 (Bearded Lady, Harem Girl #2, Jake,
 Roustabouts #1, 2, 3, Sheik, Snake Lady)
 Beats the devil you don't
 (6th Exhibit)
 How can you
 Say that man's a devil?
 (Roustabout #4)
 How can you
 Say he's wicked and bad?
 (Geek)
 How can you
 Criticize an angel
 (6th Exhibit, Geek, Roustabout #4)
 Promising more heaven
 Than they've ever had
 (Fortune Teller)
 I'm a fortune teller
 I can see the future
 I can look at people
 See what's lying ahead
 Violet and Daisy
 I see you're bound for glory
 That man who was here
 Will do all that he said
 That man's not a devil
 No - Believe it I won't
 He's not a devil
 No - And miss this chance
 I hope that they don't
 No don't
 No don't
 No don't
 (The "No" Group)
 What if he's a devil?
 (The "Yes" Group)
 What if he's not?
 He could be an angel
 (The "No" Group)
 That heaven forgot
 (Fortune Teller)
 I think you may be jealous
 (Jake)
 Jealous of what?
 (All)
 That Violet and Daisy
 Might give him a shot
 (Both Groups)
 The devil you know
 Beats the devil you don't
 That promised land
 Could turn out to be dry
 So dry
 Once you're gone
 You might ask yourselves why
 Maybe you will
 But the devil you know
 But the devil you know
 But the devil you know
 (Jake)
 Alright!
 Now we could argue all night
 Because we care about you two
 Maybe you will go
 Or maybe you won't
 But I hope you will remember
 That that mean old
 Money-grubbin'
 Gin-guzzlin'
 Name-callin'
 Devil you know
 Might be better than
 That smooth talkin'
 Fine-lookin'
 Dream-spinnin'
 Promise makin'
 Devil you don't
 (Both Groups & Jake)
 No, no, no
 Don't call him a devil
 No, no, no
 Don't call him a devil
 No, no, no
 Don't call him a devil
 (All)
 Don't!
