The devil wanted a place on Earth Sort of a summer home A place to spend his vacation When ever he wanted to roam
So he picked out Arizona A place both rechid and rough Where the climate was to his liking And the cowboys hardened and tough
He dried up the streams in the canyons And ordered no rain to fall He dried up the lakes in the valleys Then baked and scorched it all
Then over his barren desert He planted shrubs from hell The cactus, thistle and prickly pear The climate suited it well
Now the home was much to his liking But animal life he had none So he created crawling creatures That all man kind would shun
First he made the rattle snake With its froked poisonous tongue Taught it how to strike and rattle And how to swallow its young
Then he made the scorpion and lizards And the ugly old horned toad He placed spiders of every description Under rocks by the sides of roads
Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter Hotter and hotter still Until even the cactus wilted And the old horned toad looked ill
Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom As any creator would He chuckled a little up his sleeve And admitted it was good
T'was summer now and satan lay By a prickly pear to rest The sweat rolled off his swarthy brow So he took off his coat and vest
By golly he finally panted I did my job to well I'm going back to where I came from
ARIZONA IS HOTTER THAN HELL |
