And take a tasty bite"

Tempted Him in the desert one day
"Are you the Son of God?" (the Son of God?)
"Turn these stones into wholesome bread and make your hunger stop."

The Devil Is Bad Lyrics

she was walkin' in the garden one day
when a snake slithered 'round her feet (slithered 'round her feet)
"Follow me right over to this tree
and I'll give you something good to eat"
"I don't know; are you sure?
I don't think it is right" (it is right)
"Doesn't matter, just open your mouth
And take a tasty bite"

she said to to him "I think it's a sin,
but boy does it look right."
he said to her "Just take my word
and i promise that you'll see the light"

why don't you just get outa here
'cause i don't wanna see you 'round here no more
why don't you just get outa here
'cause this is now and that was before

'cause you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
you are the devil and you are bad

Tempted Him in the desert one day
"Are you the Son of God?" (the Son of God?)
"Turn these stones into wholesome bread and make your hunger stop."
Even though His hunger had grown real strong
He turned and simply replied (and simply replied),
"Man does not live on bread alone but on the Word of God"

he turned to Him, said "Worship me

"Away from me with your evil ways!
'Cause the Word says only God"

why don't you just get outa here
'cause i don't wanna see you 'round here no more
why don't you just get outa here
'cause this is now and that was before

'cause you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
you are the devil and you are bad

The W's were a Christian ska/swing band, formed in Corvallis, Oregon in 1997. Within a year, they had signed with Five Minute Walk. Success came quickly as they toured with bands such as dc Talk on their "Supernatural" tour. Within a year they had produced their first album, Fourth From the Last. The immediate success of this album put it at #4 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Their song "The Devil Is Bad" became their greatest hit.

The bands other hit song, "The Rumor Weed Song" was made for the children’s video series VeggieTales (episode: "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed"). It was included as a hidden track on their second album Trouble With X.

This band's downfall came as quickly as its success had. Their final release, Trouble With X, came at the end of the Swing Revival movement. Swing music was losing its mass appeal, and The W's were caught in the mass exodus from the genre.

A third album had been planned but was never released. However, one song "Somewhere Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" was released on the compilation Take Time To Listen volume 5.0 by Five Minute Walk. The song shows that the band was changing its sound toward rockabilly, but retaining the horn section.
