Song Quote of the Week

If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine,
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
--Ken Spooner and Kim Williams, “If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets”
