everyone could see him
they knew he felt at home
his dazzling ways would rim
Moscow, Berlin and Rome
high time to go about 
a loud "hallo !!!" rang out
first from his bag of tricks

the night is cold and long
behind these bars I'm locked
the sound outside is strong
the devil takes his walk...

the mob just roared with joy
as always when appeased
he played them like a toy
a coin rain made'em pleased 
the mob wanted revenge
stifled with agitation
whenever the law sleeps
there is retaliation

the night is cold and long
behind these bars I'm locked
the sound outside is strong
the devil takes his walk...

it's planned from A to Z
he serves'em tabs and snow
the savages just spread
east and west they go
it was a ghastly night
the dawn ain't much to see
the devil walks on site
I know just what will be

the night is cold and long
behind these bars I'm locked
the sound outside is strong
the devil takes his walk...
