Jezebel.

Jezebel, Jezebel
If ever the devil was born
Without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
If ever an angel fell..Jezebel
It was you, Jezebel it was you
If ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
Deceiving me grieving me leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
If ever the devil’s plan was made to torment man
It was you Jezebel it was you

T’would be better had I never known
A lover such as you
Forsaking dreams and all
For the siren call of your arms
Like a demon love possessed me, you
Obsessed me constantly
What evil star is mine
That my fate’s desire should be
Jezebel

If ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
Deceiving me grieving me leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
If ever the devil’s plan was made to torment man
It was you night and day
Every way Jezebel , Jezebel , Jezebel


[Editor’s note: performed by Desi Arnaz in the I Love Lucy episode, Lucy is Jealous of Girl Dancer]
