The Creation of Cruella De Vil

The Creation of Cruella De Vil is a deleted song from Disney's 1961 animated feature film, One Hundred and One Dalmatians. It was meant to have been sung by Roger Radcliffe, about the film's antagonist, Cruella De Vil, but was replaced by the song about her of the same name. The song was recorded in 1958.

Lyrics[]

Roger: To an old abandoned graveyard
I walked one foggy night
And chanced upon a freshly opened grave
Staring down upon a coffin
I saw a shaft of light
And knew I found the entrance to a cave
At first of course my impulse was to flee
Then eerie voices drifted up to me

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil

Being curious by nature
More curious than brave
I felt compelled to do the thing I did
Climbing down to learn the secret
The secret of the cave
I cautiously turned back the coffin lid
There deep down in cavern I could see
Nine witches dancing wild fiendishly

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil

All around an evil carpet
That belched up flame and smoke
I saw their test sorcery begin
Every witch performs some gesture in trying to invoke
Some creature beast or monster from within
Then from this pit emerged great vampire bats
And hissing snakes and vicious snarling rats

All at once the pit erupted
And to my shock surprise
There stood a woman with her arm out spread
She was staring at the witches
And when she caught their eyes
They all cried "CRUELLA" and fell dead
With panic running up and down my spine
I saw Cruella eyes drift up to mine

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil

With a shriek of mortal terror
I scrambled from the grave
Though I no more would be free
Having knowledge of the secret
The secret of the cave
I know Cruella plans to silence me
Now every night I almost go insane
I hear those witches chanting in my brain

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruel Cruel
Cruella
Devil Devil
De Vil

Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil
