  • Little girl what's your game?
    Hard luck and trouble
    Bound to be your claim to fame
    Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
    Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
    Drive a young man insane
    Evil that's your name

    Lucretia MacEvil
    That's the thing you're doin' fine
    Back seat Delilah
    Got your six bit jug o'wine, woman
    I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
    Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
    Never done a thing worth-while
    You're just an evil woman-child

    Ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad

    Devil got you lucy
    Under lock and key
    Ain't about to set you free
    Sign sealed and witnessed
    Since the day you were born
    No use tryin' to fake him out
    No use tryin' to make him out
    Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
    What-cha gonna do?

    Lucy MacEvil
    Honey ya been all night?
    Your hair's all messed up, babe
    An' the clothes you're wearin'
    Just don't fit ya right
    Big Daddy Joe's, payin' your monthly rent
    Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money went
    Dressin' you up in style, evil woman-child

    Ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad Writer/s: David Clayton-Thomas
