Shut de D, keep out de debil
Shut de D, keep de debil in de ni-Eet
Shut de D, keep out de debil
Light de candle everything's alright
Light de candle everything's alright
When I was a baby child
(Shut de D, keep out the debil)
Good and bad was just a game
(Shut de D, keep the debil in de ni-Eet)
Many years and many trials
(Shut de D, keep out the debil)
They proved to me they not the same
(Shut de D, keep the debil in de ni-Eet)
[Chorus]
Here's something you can do
If you dig it, you might want to
You can sing the song with me
Move your lips on the count of three
[Chorus]
Oh, satan is an evil charmer
(Shut de D, keep out the debil)
He's hungry for a soul to hurt
(Shut de D, keep the debil in de ni-Eet)
And without your holy armor
(Shut de D, keep out the debil)
He will eat you for dessert
(Shut de D, keep the debil in de ni-Eet)
[Chorus]
My mama used to sing this song
(Shut de D, keep out the debil)
Poppa used to sing it, too
(Shut de D, keep the debil in de ni-Eet)
Jesus called and took them home
(Shut de D, keep out the debil)
And so I sing the song for you
(Shut de D, keep the debil in de ni-Eet)
[Chorus]
