I am feeling quite cold," Baid Hitler, quite anxious to enter Nick's fold. "Let me sit in a corner, no matter how hot "No," said the Devil Most certainly not, We do not admit people for riches or help; Here's Sulphur and Matches-mate Hell for Then kicked Adolf out and vanished in smoke And just at that moment Hitler awoke to He jumped out of bed in a ani vering sweat And said, "Well, that's a dream I shall never That I can't go to Heaven I know damn well, But ifs & Bugger to be kicked out of HLI
