Folks in Eastwick hate their devil
Looking rumpled and disheveled
he materialized one day
shaking tail and holding sway
Soon thereafter he bewitches
these three... women, call them ladies
those grow too big for their breeches
and the visitor from Hades
generates all kinds of chaos
(no, don't call him Asmodeus)
the three ladies and their newborns
(lacking birth marks, tails -- and no horns!)
Fine if you will call them witches
all have fallen into riches
but the folks, they hate their devil
any one of of them will level
and they do have stuff to tell
Eastwick, they'll say, gone to hell.
