LOOK DE DEVIL DEY
Performed by Penguin (1980)

Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?

So you ‘fraid Satan, that mysterious man?
And you keep saying, "In Hell he living."
Is time you know, you thinking wrong
Devil for so all over town

Chorus:
You ‘fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
An’ he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Look de devil dey!

To fool people eyes devil does disguise
But is no problem to recognise them
Some like to deck in suit whole day
And round dey neck have balisier.

Chorus:
You ‘fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
An’ he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Look de devil dey!

It have some devil with gown and bible
Who praise their Saviour but cuss dey neighbour
Another kind shared peace and blows
Hiding behind some police clothes

Chorus:
You fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
An he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Look de devil day!

Pay de devil ! Pay de devil !
Pay de devil ! Pay de devil !
Pay de devil ! Pay de devil !
Pay de devil ! Pay de devil !
Pay de devil !

Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?

Devils in business, in halls of justice
In pot guts old men who seduce girl children
And if you praise the wrongs men do
Well then you is a devil too!

Chorus:
You ‘fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
And he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey! Wey de devil dey!
Look de devil dey!

Pay de devil ! Jab Jab! Pay de devil ! Jab Jab!
Pay de devil ! Jab Jab! Pay de devil ! Jab Jab!
Pay de devil ! Jab Jab! …..
