Little Demon - Screamin

Little Demon

Screamin' Jay Hawkins

(Hawkins - Nahan, OKEH 7072, 1956)

Down in the valley on a foggy hill rock
Stood a crazy little demon blowin' his top
Fire in his eyes and smoke from his head
You gotta be real cool to hear the words he said

He did a...
Mop-mop-mop-mmm-mop-mmm-mop-mmm... etc.
That cat was mad!

He had steam in his soul for the one he loves so
He had death on his mind, 'cause Miss Demon let him go
Gonna run through the world till he understands his pain
Somebody help him get Miss Demon home again

He did a...
Mop-mop-mop-mmm-mop-mmm-mop-mmm... etc.
That cat, that cat was mad, yeah! Ohw!

He made the sky turn green, he made the grass turn red
He even put pretty hair on grandma's bald head
He made the moon back up, he even pushed back time
Took the tutti out of frutti, had the devil drinkin' wine

He did a...
Mop-mop-mop-mmm-mop-mmm-mop-mmm... etc.
That cat, that cat was mad, oohw-oohw-oohw!

Miss Demon felt good, 'cause she finally got across
To the crazy little demon that a woman's still the boss
Down in the valley on a foggy hill rock
You can still here the demon blowin' his top

He did a...
Mop-mop-mop-mmm-mop-mmm-mop-mmm... etc.
That cat, that cat was mad!

He pushed back night, brought in afternoon
He even made leap the itch up over the moon
He took the fourth of July and he put it in May
He took this morning, brought back yesterday

He did a...
Mop-mop-mop-mmm-mop-mmm-mop-mmm... etc.
That cat was mad, oohw-oohw-oohw!
Aaaaah, uh!
