Well,
a black cat's crossing the path
And I've never been too good at math
But I've had enough of times
Try to make a dime
Swear I don't deserve this wrath
Hey dealer,
deal me another half of these
There ain't no way I can win with these cards
that you're dealing to me
I got the jack of spades in one hand
And the queen of clutches reading the Quran
And the gypsy fortune teller singing encapada
I can't afford to know where I stand Hey dealer,
deal me another half of these
There ain't no way I can win with
these cards that you're dealing to me
You up the bet when you're sure you're coming out ahead
Well,
it's true though,
dad,
the wise man said You played the joker and you're better
off dead
I need the queen of hearts for a straight
Needing love's always been my fate
If I don't get a better deal,
I swear I'll learn to steal I bent the hook and took the bait
Hey dealer,
deal me another half of these
There ain't no way I can win with
these cards that you're dealing to me
How the hell am I supposed to win
with these cards you're dealing to me?
There ain't no way I can win with these cards you're dealing to me
