[Chorus]
F#Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
EDevil with the blue dress on
BDevil with the blue drEess, Bblue dress, blue dreEss
BDevil with the blue dresEs oBn
[Verse 1]
BFe, fe, fi, fi, fo, fo, fum
Look at Molly now, here she come
Wearin' a wig, hat, shades to match
High healed sneakers and an aligator hat
EWearing her diamonds, wearing a big ring
She got rBazors on her fingers and everything
[Chorus]

BDevil with the blue drEess, Bblue dress, blue dreEss

BWearin' her perfume, Chanel number five
Got to be the finest looking woman alive
Looks so pretty every time she walks by
The boys are too nervous even to say hi
ENot too skinny, not too fat
She's a rBeal humdinger and I like it like that
[Chorus]
F#Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
EDevil with the blue dress on
BDevil with the blue drEess, Bblue dress, blue dreEss
BDevil with the blue dresEs oBn
