Hop down, hop down from the family tree
Hop down for your Daddy, he went down for thee
Did you hear it?
Yes, we heard it
We're the children who endured it
Well, I'm here now to incur it, kids, and take it all away
Long gone is the wicked (Who-wup)
From the darkness and the thicket (Ah-uh)
Listen, children, this is what I have to say
Oh, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
No, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
Nor shall he tear this poor family apart (Ooh)
Oh, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
No, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
For I locked him in my heart (Ooh)
Yes, you locked him in your heart
Shiggity-biggity-biggity-bye-bye-bye
Roo rika-dum rika-dum-dum
Whoo shicky-bicky-bye-bye-bye
Rickety-boom-boom rickety-boom-boom
Act sharp, fear not
Did you get all that he's got?
Yes, I grabbed him by the tail and I tied it in a knot
Good golly!
Hot damn!
Half goat, half man
But he cried like a lamb
Did he really?
Sure he did!
I grabbed him by the collar
And he gave a mighty holler
And I said to him: "Thy wicked I forbid!"
Oh, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
No, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
Nor shall he tear this poor family apart (Ooh)
Oh, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
No, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
For I locked him in my heart (Ooh)
Yes, you locked him in your heart

Buh buh buh!
See here!
Yes, pa?
I've been feelin' awful raw
And it's better I'm alone to consider what I saw
Oh, Daddy, how long?
Gonna miss you when you're gone!
But to stay here would be wrong—oh I gotta go away
I'm a'taking all your sorrow
And I'm leaving here tomorrow
So remember what I said to you today
Oh, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
No, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
Nor shall he tear this poor family apart (Ooh)
Oh, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
No, the devil can't hurt you (Holly holly holly holly)
For I locked him in my heart (Ooh)
(Yes, you locked him in your heart)
(Oh yes, you locked him in your heart)
(Yes, you locked him in your heart)
