[Verse 1]
I had a dream last night
That filled me full of fright
I dreamt that I was with the Devil below
In his great big fiery hall
Where the Devil was giving a Ball
I checked my coat and hat, and started gazing at
The merry crowd that came to witness the show
And, I must confess to you
There were many there I knew

[Chorus]
At the Devil’s Ball, at the Devil’s Ball
I saw the cute Mrs. Devil, so pretty and fat
Dressed in a beautiful fireman’s hat
Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last Fall
He played the music at the Devil’s Ball in the Devil’s Hall
I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw
Taking the tickets from folks at the door
I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
Dancing with the Devil, oh, the little Devil
Dancing at the Devil’s Ball

[Verse 2]
The Devil’s Pa and Ma, were standing at the bar
Conversing with the little fellow who first
Put the pain in champagne wine
He was pouring it out in a stein
I bought a round of ice, for everybody twice
It wasn’t long before I ordered a fan
And before the break of dawn
I put my overcoat in pawn
[Chorus]
At the Devil’s Ball, at the Devil’s Ball
I saw the cute Mrs. Devil, so pretty and fat
Dressed in a beautiful fireman’s hat
Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last Fall
He played the music at the Devil’s Ball in the Devil’s Hall
I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw
Taking the tickets from folks at the door
I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
Dancing with the Devil, oh, the little Devil
Dancing at the Devil’s Ball

[Chorus]
At the Devil’s Ball, at the Devil’s Ball
I saw the cute Mrs. Devil, so pretty and fat
Dressed in a beautiful fireman’s hat
Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last Fall
He played the music at the Devil’s Ball in the Devil’s Hall
I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw
Taking the tickets from folks at the door
I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
Dancing with the Devil, oh, the little Devil
Dancing at the Devil’s Ball
