The Cardplayers

Well, I guess it depends what you mean by collusion There's no winning strategy here If you think that Ev and I worked out a system Well, things are not as they appear And if I thought behaviour like this would win card games I'd show up more often 'round here May I say for a pit boss, you're really quite lovely I'm sorry we met like this, dear But I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard It's credit where credit ain't due What you failed to account for per your calculations Is that fools sometimes get lucky too Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be a fool Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too Complaints have been lodged by respectable locals We've poisoned their usual grind A more noble group dressed in hoodies and sunglasses You would be hard-pressed to find Players like this should have known that if only They'd allowed us our drink and our fun We'd have given it all back with interest and pleasure In the long run, that would never come And I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard It's credit where credit ain't due What you failed to account for per your calculations Is that fools sometimes get lucky too Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be a fool Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too The fiddler, he feels that his rights as a red-blooded patriot have been infringed He says he's entitled to whiskey by sovereignty, birthright, and citizenship And if they're running bad because we're drinking liquor It doesn't reflect on them well 'Cause who hasn't overindulged then they drunkenly dragged a few pots What the hell? Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be a fool Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too Yeah, fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too
