lyrics

Cruella DeVille

(drowned in a still)


Cruella DeVille, Cruella DeVille,

If she doesn’t scare you, no wicked thing will,

Her cackle so shrill, she makes the pinball tilt,

Darts glares far sharper than a porcupine’s quill.

And the mirror discloses a form much older

‘cause you’ve spent half yer life peekin ‘round the corner,

Yet ya can’t elude the witch ya run smack into . . .



Cruella DeVille drowned in a still,

But was quickly revived by a cocktail of pills,

Makes vegetables ill, pacifists kill,

The titerope walker take quite a spill.

With a puppy spotted coat strung over bone shoulders,
 Pockmarked by botched embers off her cigarette holder,

She heats her ribcage from outside in.

Keep the little brutes for all I care! They’re mongrels! Mongrels!


Cruella, Cruella DeVille . . .
Cruella, Cruella DeVille . . .
