the crooked pack

lyrics

the jokers got a brand new suit
and the aces are makin’ off with the loot
and the king’s all alone, cryin’ his eyes out.

the queen says to jack, “go and get me
a bed that’s just my size, and quickly,
i need to lay down and cry my eyes out.”

the joker’s strollin’ down the street
hoppin’ and skippin’ and kickin’ his feet,
and the cards are fanned out all above his head.

the king’s knockin’ on the castle gate
jack opens up and says, “dad, you’re late.
mom’s upstairs cryin’ her eyes out.”

the king says, “does she want to see me?”
jack says, “I’m not sure, just go up and see.
if she does, you know she’d never admit it to me.

the aces spent the loot in a bar,
laughin’ and drinkin’ and havin’ a ball.
it’s all fun and games ‘til the tender says “get out!”

the joker tripped and fell,
the aces drank themselves to hell,
and the queen turned down the king so he’s
cryin’ his eyes out.

now the jokers got a hole in his suit,
the aces wasted all the loot,
and the kings in the gutter, stabbin’ his brains out.
