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
