Chase the Devil Lyrics

[Intro]
Lucifer: son of the morning
I'm gonna chase you out of Eart'

[Refrain]
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt
And chase Satan out of Eart'
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt
And chase the devil out of Eart'
I'm gonna send him to outer space
To find another race
I'm gonna send him to outer space
To find another race

[Verse 1]
Satan is a evilous man
But him can't chucks it on I-man
So when I check him my, lass in hand
And if him slip, I gone wid him hand

[Refrain]
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt
And chase Satan out of Eart'
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt
And chase the devil out of Eart'
I'm gonna send him to outer space
To find another race
I'm gonna send him to outer space
To find another race (Oh yeah)
