Lyrics

Cru (C7)el la De Vil,

Cru (F7)el la De Vil,

if (C7)she does n’t scare you no (F7)e vil thing will.

To (C)see her is to (Ab7)take a sud den chill,

Cru (D7)el la, Cru el la De (G9)Vil.

The (C7)curl of her lips,

the (F7)ice in her stare;

all (C7)in no cent chil dren had (F7)bet ter be ware.

She’s (C)like a spi der (Ab7)wait ing for a kill.

Look (G7)out for Cru el la De (C)Vil.

At (E7)first you think Cru el la is the (Am)dev il,

but (E7)af ter time has worn a way the (Am)shock,

you (D7)come to re al ize you’ve seen her kind of eyes

(Ab7)watch ing you from un der neath a rock.

This (C7)vam pire bat,

this (F7)in hu man beast,

she (C7)ought to be locked up and (F7)nev er re leased.

The (C)world was such a (Ab7)whole some place un til

Cru (G7)el la, Cru el la De (C)Vil.
