Better Do It Right

Momma told me, "Boy, you best behave 'Cause Santa keeps a list of all his faves And if you don't shape up, you ain't gettin' squat." But the devil on my shoulder's gettin' hot Hotter than heaven, cool outta sight If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right So he took me for a ride in his Cadillac Stolen from a kleptomaniac at a horse-race track I said, "Sir, it's Christmas Eve, I should be home in bed." Instead, he said, "You merry gentlemen always bet on red." The duke of deception, malice, and spite If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right When you're done, you're really done Will you look back and say, "Hey, that was fun." When all you ever wanted was a BB gun Santa Claus never did come When you're done, you're really done Will you look back and say, "Hey, that was fun." So he took me for a ride in his big ol' sleigh We flew around the world in just one day Johnny Mathis sang I said, "Sir, what you got for me in that sled?" Instead, he said, "Boy, you been bettin' on a darker shade of red." Hotter than heaven, cool outta sight Duke of deception, malice, and spite Johnny is singin' (Johnny is singin') In heaven tonight If you gotta do wrong You better do it right
