The Devil Has Brought Up All The Coal Lyrics

Ev'ryone's hollering "Me oh! my
We're in a terrible hole"
Ev'ryone's hollering "tell us why
There is a shortage of coal?"
I have the whole thing figured out
Really it isn't so bad
I know the cause without a doubt
Why there's no coal to be had

The devil has brought up all the coal
He's going to save it, I swear
Until the Kaiser gets there
He means to make it warm for Mister William
The devil has spent his little roll
For all the coal from ev'ry were
He's piling it up by the on
And oh! what he'll do to that Hun
There'll be a hot time in Hades
When the Kaiser gets there

Satan is freezing 'way down below
He feels a terrible chill
Still he won't use up his coal, oh! no
Satan is wating for Bill
If he can stand it, why can't we?
Tell all the grumblers to pause
Although we freeze let's shout with glee
It's for a wonderful cause

The devil has brought up all the coal
He's going to save it, I swear
Until the Kaiser gets there
He means to make it warm for Mister William
I'd give Mister Rockefeller's roll
To see the Kaiser, I declare
And whisper in his little ear
"You don't know the half of it dear"
