Ante up. And don't be shy.
|
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
|
What's underneath all of the deadpan face?
|
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
|
|
Lamebrain Pete wants to Spit in the Sea.
|
He's got a cool hand but it isn't for me.
|
Butcher Boy thinks he'll be splitting the pot.
|
But I've seen what he's got and it isn't a lot.
|
|
(When deuces are wild you can follow the queen.
|
I'd go too except I know where she's been.)
|
|
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
|
But it's no cheap thrill
|
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
|
Anything you have to pay.
|
|
I limit the straddles, and you shuffle and deal.
|
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
|
Is the lucky beginner just a five-card stud?
|
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?
|
|
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
|
But it's no cheap thrill
|
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
|
Anything you have to pay.
|
|
I'll match you, I'll bet you, I'll play you,
|
But it's no cheap thrill
|
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
|
Anything you have to pay.
