The Devil got the sack last week

He’s feeling at a loss

For several thousand years now

He’s been in charge, the boss

The new man’s changing everything

Hired a whole new team

The place is so much nicer

A more relaxed regime

Red hot pokers up the arse

De rigueur, they are not

Only those that ask, will get

A poker up their bot

There’s been a change of fragrance too

Well, sulphurs so outré

Seems Lily of the valley

Is the order of the day

We’re getting leather sofas, which

Could well be in quite soon

And a squad of decorators

Working hard in every room

Now they’ve fixed the air conditioner

It’s behaving as it should

Hell is rather pleasant

In fact it’s jolly good

So when you pop your clogs

And you’re deciding where to go

Forget the trip to Heaven

It’s much better down below
