Chef Ramsay Facts

The original version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia was about Chef Gordon Ramsay™

The devil went down to London He was lookin’ for a soul to steal He was in a bind ‘Cause he was way behind And he was willin’ to make a deal

When he came upon this young man Sautée'n at the stove and doing it hot And the devil jumped Up on a prep table And said, “boy, let me tell you what

I guess you didn’t know it But I’m a sauteer too And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you

Now you Sauté a pretty good pan, boy But give the devil his due I’ll bet a grill of gold Against your soul ‘Cause I think I’m better than you.”

The boy said, “my name’s Ramsay And it might be a sin But I’ll take your bet And you’re gonna regret ‘Cause I’m the best there’s ever been.”

Ramsay, oil up your pan and sauté your vegetables hard 'Cause hell’s broke loose in London, and the devil deals the cards And if you win, you get this shiny grill made of gold But if you lose, the devil gets your soul

The devil opened up his case And he said, “I’ll start this show.” And fire flew from his fingertips As he oiled up his pan

Then he fired up the stove And it made an evil hiss And a brigade of demons joined in And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Ramsay said, “well, you’re pretty good, old son But sit down in that chair right there And let me show you how it’s done.”

He fried Shrimp on the Mountain run boys, run The devil’s in the House of the Rising Sun Chicken in a bread pan pickin’ out dough Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no

The devil bowed his head Because he knew that he’d been beat And he laid that golden grill On the ground at Ramsay’s feet

Ramsay said, “Devil, just come on back If you ever want to try again I done told you once you son of a bitch I’m the best that’s ever been.”
