[Intro Alastor]
Splendid, ha-ha-ho!
I see big things coming your way, yes, indeedy!
Now, onto business
Everything's better with a song, don't you agree?
[Verse 1: Alastor]
This way, good man, we've a deal to make
I assure this is a good thing for both our sakes
I'm happy to provide, but remember your side
Of a bargain I know you can't refuse to take
All I ask is when I boost your station
Remember who gave you this grand ovation
If I call on you for a favor or two
Don't forget, it's now your obligation
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha![Intro Alastor]
Splendid, ha-ha-ho!
I see big things coming your way, yes, indeedy!
Now, onto business
Everything's better with a song, don't you agree?
[Verse 1: Alastor]
This way, good man, we've a deal to make
I assure this is a good thing for both our sakes
I'm happy to provide, but remember your side
Of a bargain I know you can't refuse to take
All I ask is when I boost your station
Remember who gave you this grand ovation
If I call on you for a favor or two
Don't forget, it's now your obligation
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Chorus: Alastor]
Smile like you mean it, take a chance and you could seize it
I'm sure you'll do just swell, you're only down in Hell
So come along with me and guarantee it
Smile your way through it, grit your teeth and get right to it
Forget thе rigmarole, and you can have it all
And make it that much bеtter when I see you fall
[Interlude: Alastor]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Oh, still unconvinced?
Well, why not take the word of a friend of mine?
Husker!
[Verse 2: Husk & Alastor]
They say you reap what you sow, and in this town, you damn well know
That what the Radio Demon wants, he's gonna take (He's gonna take it)
I've seen him kill Hell's greatest evils, shake the status quo in upheaval
So if you think you're gettin' outta this, ha, big mistake (Now, now, sour-puss)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha!) Stop fuckin' around, this is takin' forever
You always think you're real (Ooh) slick and clever
Yet I know what you like, and what makes you tick (Tick) tick (Tick) tick (Tick-tock)
Doin' what you want's just the cost I pay
Enough of this shit, we ain't got all day
Just sign the thing so I can go get another fuckin' drink (Ha-ha-ha-ha, in other words
Chorus: Alastor]
Smile like you mean it, risk it all and we can seize it
Until we hear that bell, we're both stuck in Hell
So roll the dice and see if you can be it
Smile your way through it, embrace the dark as though you knew it
You can stand up tall and act within my thrall
And I'll be there to watch you as you take the fall
[Bridge: Alastor]
So what, my friend? Whatever will it be?
I can give you what you crave, just not for free
You know what's on the line, and this whole thing's on borrowed time
But you can trust the man who's wearing his one guarantee
[Chorus: Alastor]
Smile like you mean it, take a chance and you could seize it
I'm sure you'll do just swell, you're only down in Hell
So come along with me and guarantee it
Smile your way through it, grit your teeth and get right to it
Forget the rigmarole, and you can have it all
And make it that much better when I see you
Smile like you mean it, risk it all and we can seize it
Until we hear that bell, we're both stuck in Hell
So roll the dice and see if you can be it
Smile your way through it, embrace the dark as though you knew it
You can stand up tall and act within my thrall
And I'll be there to watch you, yes, I'll watch you
I will make you, break you as you fall
