Three little devils all dressed in red

(ed: there was no mention of it, but this has the feel of a skipping song. Anyone got any info.?)

(Bridgett says: "We learned this song in music class at a Catholic school in South St. Louis, Missouri, in the early 1980s. and yes, it was a rope-skipping song, at least how we used it.". Ed: I think that sorts that out :))

Three little devils all dressed in red,
Trying to get to heaven on the end of a thread.
Well the thread broke and downt hey all fell
Instead of going to heaven they all went to...

Trying to get to heaven on the end of a thread.

Instead of going to heaven they all went to...

One little devil all dressed in red,
Trying to get to heaven on the end of a thread.
Well the thread broke and downt hey all fell
Instead of going to heaven they all went to...
