[Chorus]

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
E
Devil with the blue dress on
B                     E   B                    E
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
B                       E  B
Devil with the blue dress on

[Verse 1]
B
Fe, 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
E
Wearing her diamonds, wearing a big ring
         B 
She got razors on her fingers and everything

[Chorus]
F#
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
E
Devil with the blue dress on
B                     E   B                    E
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
B                       E  B
Devil with the blue dress on

[Verse 2]
B
Wearin' 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
E
Not too skinny, not too fat
         B
She's a real humdinger and I like it like that

[Chorus]
F#
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
E
Devil with the blue dress on
B                     E   B                    E
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
B                       E  B
Devil with the blue dress on
