What´s underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?

Lamebrain Pete wants to Spit in the Sea.
He´s got a cool hand but it isn´t for me.

Butcher Boy thinks he´ll be splitting the pot.
But I´ve seen what he´s got and it isn´t a lot.

(When deuces are wild you can follow the queen.
I´d go too except I know where she´s been.)

I´ll see you, I´ll call you, I´ll raise you
But it´s no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.

I limit the straddles, and you shuffle and deal.
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
Is the lucky beginner just a five-card stud?
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?

I´ll see you, I´ll call you, I´ll raise you

But it´s no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.

I´ll match you, I´ll bet you, I´ll play you,
But it´s no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
