G#                        A
Mama told me boy you best behave
      A                             G#
Cause Santa keeps a list of all his favs
    G#
And if you don't shape up
                  A
You ain't getting squat
        A                             B
But the devil on my shoulders getting hot
            A
Hotter than ever
            G#
Cool out of sight
             A         G#
If I'm gonna do wrong

I'm gonna do it right

[Verse 2]

      G#                             A
So he took me for a ride in his Cadillac
                        G#
Stolen from a kleptomaniac
     G#
At a horse race track
                                                   A
I said "Sir, its Christmas Eve I should be home in bed"
  A
Instead he said
                                  B
You merry gentlemen always bet on red

[Chorus]

            A
The duke of deception
       G#
Malice and spite
             A
If I'm gonna do wrong
N.C.            G#m
I'm gonna do it right

[Bridge]

            F#
When you're done
              B
You're really done
         D#                             E
Will you look back and say hey that was fun?
     E
When all he ever wanted was a BB gun
G#m         F#        C#   C#m
Santa Claus never did come
D#
Oh

[Verse 3]

      G#                                A
So he took me for a ride in his big ol' sleigh
                                     G#
We flew around the world in just one day
           G#
And Johnny Mathis sang
                                      A
I said so what you got for me in that sled
                                                              B
Instead he said "Boy you've been bettin' on a darker shade of red

[Chorus]

            A
Hotter than ever
            B
Cool out of sight
          A
Duke of deception
           B
Malice and spite
A
Johnny is singing
        G#
Why not tonight
             A        D#
If you gotta do wrong
N.C.
You better do it right
