You Can't Beat the House
|
|
You can't fool a fooler
|
I can tell when a John got jazzed by a Jezebel
|
You can't beat the house
|
You can't beat the house
|
Tell the man somebody
|
You can't beat the house
|
|
When these horn dogs
|
get lucky with dough
|
they'll blow it on the rooster
|
and the girls of Smokey Row
|
You can't beat the house
|
You can't beat the house
|
Now tell the man somebody
|
You can't beat the house
|
|
You want to buy you a dance
|
don't buy it in here
|
It's all skin games and jelly roll
|
red-eye and beer
|
They're all as mean as rat snakes
|
all got knives in their boots
|
Even the piano player, man,
|
he don't care who he shoots
|
|
See that little home wrecker
|
in the backroom
|
She'll pick your pocket
|
With her pet raccoon
|
You can't beat the house
|
You can't beat the house
|
Tell the man, somebody
|
You can't beat the house
|
