NEVILLE THE DEVIL
Neville the Devil is waiting for the children to return;
He wants to see their takings;
He wants to see what they’ve earned.
Wherever they go in the country,
Wherever they go in the town,
Neville the Devil is watching the children that he owns!
Neville – silent, his presence unseen
Neville the Devil – waiting and watching for me
Neville - maybe he lives around here?
Neville the Devil………
Neville the Devil is waiting for the children on the streets
When they bring him money, Neville will give them a treat.
If they can add to his coffers, they can go out the next day –
But if they return with nothing
Their souls will be taken away!
Neville....
Neville the Devil is hopeful as Halloween begins.
He’s marketing to the nation to draw the little ones in.
Children will follow the children: increasing Neville’s team.
So as we give our tricks or treats:
They’re all going back to him!
Neville....
