because i've come to realize i'm not the only one who can't find the lyrics online, here's my best attempt: When the wind goes a-whip whip whip whip whippin' 'round my floor And the rain comes a-rap rap rap rap rappin' at my door Give me gin to forget the sin sin sinner that I am 'Cause I'm only Satan's little lamb Give me drums that'll stop that thump thump thumpin' in my heart Give me horns that'll blow blow blow blow blow the blues apart Give me thrills that'll break the Ten Commandments with a wham! Don't you know I'm Satan's little lamb? For it's glory, glory while I'm a-livin' Purgatory when I'm gone What a welcome I will be given When my soul marches on Hi-de-ho while I'm waitin' for that fatal telegram When I go little daisies won't be carin' who I am 'Cause it's heads He wins, and it's tails you lose When you're Satan's little coal black lamb Give me drums that'll stop that thump thump thumpin' in my heart Give me horns that'll blow blow blow blow blow the blues apart Give me thrills that'll break the Ten Commandments with a wham! Don't you know I'm Satan's little lamb? For it's glory, glory while I'm a-livin' Purgatory when I'm gone What a welcome I will be given When my soul marches on Hi-de-ho while I'm waitin' for that fatal telegram When I go little daisies won't be carin' who I am 'Cause it's heads He wins, and it's tails you lose When you're Satan's little coal black lamb
I was never much of an Ethel Merman fan, but she bats this one out of the park. Thanks for the lyrics. I suggest one edit: "Give me drums that'll START that thump, etc."
I *am* a Merman fan. Ron Harris is correct: it's 'Gimme drums that'll START that thump-thump-thumpin' in my heart'. It's La Merm's heavy Queens accent; but notice the theme of the verse: wickèd thrills.

When the wind goes a-whip whip whip whip whippin' 'round my floor
And the rain comes a-rap rap rap rap rappin' at my door
Give me gin to forget the sin sin sinner that I am
'Cause I'm only Satan's little lamb
Give me drums that'll stop that thump thump thumpin' in my heart
Give me horns that'll blow blow blow blow blow the blues apart
Give me thrills that'll break the Ten Commandments with a wham!
Don't you know I'm Satan's little lamb?
For it's glory, glory while I'm a-livin'
Purgatory when I'm gone
What a welcome I will be given
When my soul marches on
Hi-de-ho while I'm waitin' for that fatal telegram
When I go little daisies won't be carin' who I am
'Cause it's heads He wins, and it's tails you lose
When you're Satan's little coal black lamb
Give me drums that'll stop that thump thump thumpin' in my heart
Give me horns that'll blow blow blow blow blow the blues apart
Give me thrills that'll break the Ten Commandments with a wham!
Don't you know I'm Satan's little lamb?
For it's glory, glory while I'm a-livin'
Purgatory when I'm gone
What a welcome I will be given
When my soul marches on
Hi-de-ho while I'm waitin' for that fatal telegram
When I go little daisies won't be carin' who I am
'Cause it's heads He wins, and it's tails you lose
When you're Satan's little coal black lamb
Wow, thanks!
