Jeff Lynne Evil Woman Lyrics

Melpomene: Apparently, there is no success nor joy for
you nor I.
And now, Clio is to be granted Xanadu!
Would that I were a god, I would smite her.

Calliope: Ooo, sister, sister! You are such a . . .

Melpomene:
Evil woman

Calliope:
(Guitar noise)

Melpomene:
Evil woman

Calliope:

Melpomene:
Evil woman

Calliope:
(Guitar)

Melpomene:
Evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze

Both:
Ha, ha

Melpomene:
Woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next
train

Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Evil woman, evil woman

Melpomene:
Evil woman, hey

Calliope:
You’re an evil woman

Melpomene:
Evil woman

I know what lets do!

Calliope: What lets?

Melpomene: What lets use our muse powers and place a curse upon our sister.
That she falls in love with this mortal!

Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Calliope: What a glorious prank. We shall do the curse,
she shall be in love!
And by Zeus’ decree . . . Be put to death!

Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Melpomene: Oh, come my daughter Sirens.
Come join your mother and aunt in mean-spirited melody!

Sirens:
You’re an evil woman.

Calliope:
Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're trying to wail a different song

Both:
Ha, ha

Calliope:
Ah, funny how you broke me up
You made the wine now you drink a cup
I came a-runnin' every time you cried
I thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
All:
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Sirens:
Evil woman

Melpomene:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sirens:
Evil woman

Calliope:
Not a nice lady!

Sirens:
Evil woman,

Melpomene:
Hey, hey, hey

Sirens:
Evil woman

All:
Evil Woman
