About

The strange accent in which Terry Taylor sings this mocking cover of DeGarmo and Key’s “God Good Devil Bad” is likely meant to mock the ridiculous grammatical construction of the song’s title and chorus.

God Good, Devil Bad Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met a man in the Nassau Hotel
A stranger to my eyes
He had a tattoo on his arm of Jesus
And the Devil, side by side
I found the nerve, so I said
"Hey buddy, just what's the matter with you?
Don't you know that you can't serve two masters?
A real man's gotta choose!"

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, "Who do you love?"
(Tell me, buddy, who?)
"Who do you serve?"
(Tell me, buddy, who?)
"Who do you love?"
(Are you stupid?)
There's four simple words you better learn

[Chorus 1]
God good, devil bad
It's an elementary truth, it's the law of the land
God good, devil bad
Every child on earth got to understand
God good

[Verse 2]
I looked him straight in the eye and I asked him
"Hey buddy, how'd you get so confused?
Did that Madonna finally drive you crazy?
Mixing sin with God are you
Or did some rapper use some nasty language
With a cross around his neck?
If you need to follow mixed-up people
Hey buddy, there's still plenty of them left!"

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, "Who do you love?"
"Who do you serve?"
"Who do you love?"
There's four simple words you better learn

[Chorus 2]
God good, devil bad
Sun hot, snow cold
Knife sharp, spoon dull
Socks stink, flowers don't
But God good, very good
And the devil, he's a-very bad

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
I say, "Who do you love?"
(Tell me, buddy, who?)
"Who do you serve?"
(Tell me, buddy, who?)

[Outro]
God good, devil bad
(Don't you get it?)
He's very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad
But God is good
He's goody goody goody goody goody goody good God
Devil bad, he very bad
He's very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad
Good, devil bad
God is good, good, devil bad, good, bad, good, bad, good, bad
[?]
Chitty chitty bang bang!
[?]
Devil, devil, devil, he is really, really bad
[?]
God good, God good
God goody goody goody goody goody goody goody goody, devil, devil, devil, devil really, really bad
God good good God devil bad
Very very very very bad
God good, devil bad
Good good, devil bad
[?]
Devil bad, good
God is devil
Devil bad
