Life is only a game of poker and happiness is the partner
3
They deal you five cards in the cradle and you play with your like it or not
4
Some game had a start with and the game doesn't seem on the square
5
When you pick up your cards and discover you were born without even a pair

But there's no use in kicking nor squawking
7
Just pick up your cards and begin to figure in plan and puzzle
8
While fate looks on with a grin
9
Some take a chance on bluffing and stake everything they've got
10
On a little yankee poor flush and sometimes that wins a plot

Others will break up openers to draw for a middle straight
12
They know the chance they're takin' and they learned your mistake too late

Some can't plan crook it against all good advice
14
But they seldom get away with it at the end they've paid the price
15
The most of us play straight poker but I'll tell you boys it's hard

When you're there with both ends open and you can't draw the winning card

Now I've always been a loser it seems that I never can win
18
Andr I'm just a dreamer who's waiting for ships that never come in
19
I wonder where they can be
