  On Easy St last night the devil offered me a deal
  He said, "Go on and take what you'd like,
  
      E             B       Db
  and later tell me how you feel"
  
  So I looked up all around
  on this uneasy street
  I'd have been happy if I had found
  something simple to eat
  
      Ab         Db         Eb
  But just as he asked me
  
                  Ab
  ?Maureen walked past?
           Ab        Db          F#
  I said, "Mr Devil, she is so refined."
  
              B(no3)+#7
  He said, "I tricked you little brother.
    F#
  I tricked you little brother
        Eb                      Ab    Db     F#
  "That tricky little mother is mine."
  
    Ab     Eb     Eb/Db     Eb
  I wish I was as good as I look
  
    Ab     F#       Db
  I wish I was that good
  
    Db     F#     Db        F#
  I wish I was as good as I look
  
       B       F#      Db
  Wish I could be that good
  
  
  It was too late for me
  I'd just set eyes on my heart's ideal
  I was in ecstacy
  I was up and ready to steal
  So I looked up all around
  on this uneasy street
  I kept on looking until I found
  the prints of my beloved's feet
  I kept up the chase
  'til I looked right in her face
  I said, "My darling you have angel's eyes"
  
  She said to this little brother
  You knew little brother--this is just his still mother's disguise"
  
  Ab F# Db F#
  
    Bb     F#     F#/Eb     F#     Bb     Ab       Eb
  I wish I was as good as I look I wish I was that good
  
    Eb     Ab     Eb        Ab        Db      Ab      Eb
  I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that good
  
  [instr break based on intro pattern]
  
  I just could not believe
  someone so beautiful could not be pure
  I prayed for some reprieve
  I had to save her from the Devil's lure
  But I guess the Devil was bound to win
  on this uneasy street
  I had to know what was beneath her skin
  I had to face up to the Devil's heat
  But I didn't have to ask
  she just took off her mask
  In a second it was clear to see
  He said, "I tricked you little brother
  "This tricky little mother...is me."
