Eve Tempted (detail)
John Roddam Spencer-Stanhope



He showed up in the garden
That clever talking snake
Listening to his silver tongue
Was mankind's first mistake
He lurked out in the wilderness
To tempt our Lord for days
He'll promise lots of fun and, friend,
The devil's what you'll raise

Look out for Baalzebul
Evil in disguise
He's been around for ages
Don't you listen to his lies
If you wanna get to Heaven
Don't play the devil's fool
Don't hang around on Earth
With Baalzebul

Just like they blinded Samson
He's blinded many eyes
Also known as Beelzebub
It means "lord of the flies"
Lucifer, Asmodeus,
And Satan are his names
The last thing that you wanna do
Is go to his domain

Look out for Baalzebul
Evil in disguise
He's been around for ages
Don't you listen to his lies
If you wanna get to Heaven
Don't play the devil’s fool
Don't hang around on Earth
With Baalzebul

Now lowdown cheatin' liars
Don't play by any rules
They don't come any lower
Than this curséd Baalzebul
He'll smile and he'll beguile you
Here's all I've got to say
You're stuck with him forever
When he hauls your soul away

Look out for Baalzebul
Evil in disguise
He's been around for ages
Don't you listen to his lies
If you wanna get to Heaven
Don't play the devil’s fool
Don't hang around on Earth
With Baalzebul

Take this for what it's worth
Stay away from Baalzebul
