This was a Halloween I never forgot! Happened maybe 18-20 years ago... LMAO! Could never really capture it until now.... Had the angel/devil day/night thing but nothing else.

We were comfortable together as bus stop neighbors who had weekend conversations over the hedge... It's funny how simply changing an expected "outfit" can change the observer's perspective! LoL!

Always loved Dana Carvey's SNL Church Lady 'Satan' skit! Had to include that!

Lyrics

C
Church Lady’s ‘Satan?’
Was burning bright
Our neighbor’s an angel
But she’s a devil tonight…

V I
Prayed for strength that hallow’s eve
Never one to Covet
neighbors would be joining us
And knew the kids would love it

So prim and proper, sweet and kind
Imagine my suprise
Thoughts like this never crossed my mind
Had to avert my eyes

V II
An angel by day, Oh so pure and white
Was a smokin’ hot devil this halloween night
I‘m in my civies.. no costume for me
She devil so striking I’m sinning times 3

Black painted on V neck
Lycra “slacks” of the same
Horns, pitchfork and cape
had to turn away.

Church Lady’s ‘Satan?’
Was burning bright
Our neighbor’s an angel
But she’s a devil tonight…

V III
A bumble bee and fireman
Kid, hope you’ve got a hose
A hippie chick and Anikan
Use the force to recompose

Looking up to heaven
Great night for the stars
Stop your warming for her form and
Hey I think I can see Mars

Bridge
Not one to covet,
Have to say I did love it
Appreciate the art? that it was
He surely was grinning
While I's uncomfortably “sinning”
Doing the wily things that he does

Outro/chorus
Church Lady’s ‘Satan?’
Was burning bright
Our neighbor’s an angel
But she’s a devil tonight…
Yow! Our neighbor’s an angel
But she’s a devil tonight…
Yeah, Our neighbor’s an angel
But she’s a devil tonight…
