You Cannot Win (If You Do Not Play)

I was sitting by the road
My head in a cloud
Wishing that I had some wings
Wishing for a scooter
Wishing for a train or
Any kind of moving thing
Well, I looked at the trees
Looked at the sky
I seen it was a lovely day

I looked up the road
Looked at my feet

I picked it up and I walked away

You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play

Well, I went to the fair
Looking for fun
I think the whole world was there
Yes, I saw a fat man
I saw a thin man
I saw a little teddy bear
Well, I said to myself
I know what I want
I got to get a little bear some way

I heard a loud voice
It said a few words, it said
"You gotta take a chance and you gotta pay, boy"

You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play

Pretty young Pam
You're bringing me down, baby
Ah, you're just making me blue

I'm under the trees
I'm waiting alone now
Trying to sing a song to you
Well, the night is so clear
The moon is so bright
Ah, but you're wasting it all away
You're up on a hill
I'm down here below
I'm trying to tell you, baby, it ain't okay, no

You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play

And you cannot win
If you do not play
