Papa said I'm a fool tonight

He doesn't really try to know me

I don't care!

The guys are here

I've got the dice

You don't have to go to school today

if this is what you wanna learn

All the cats they wanted to play

C'mon, man

Throw them



It doesn't matter

what game you play

it doesn't really matter

what game you choose

If you don't have lady Luck

pretty sure your gonna lose

Roll 'em once, roll 'em twice

you got to roll again

If you're thinking to win

you're just a fool

Shake 'em once, shake 'em twice

you got to shake again you got to roll 'em

you got to throw them for me

I'm sailing down the Mississippi

working like I know how

I didn't know which way I was goin'

but that's o. k. right now

A gamblin' man, it's all I'll ever be

but don't you ever worry

I was born, when the odds were wrong

my mama left me in a sure fire hurry
