The Cardplayers

[Verse 1]
I guess it depends what you mean by collusion, there's no winning strategy here
If you think that Ev and I worked out a system, well, things are not as they appear
And if I thought behavior like this would win card games, I'd show up more often 'round here
May I say, for a pit boss, you're really quite lovely? I'm sorry we met like this, dear

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard, it's credit where credit ain't due
What you failed to account for per your calculations is that fools sometimes gеt lucky too

[Chorus]
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must bе a fool
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too

[Verse 2]
Complaints have been lodged by respectable locals, we've poisoned their usual grind
A more noble group dressed in hoodies and sunglasses, you would be hard-pressed to find
Players like this should have known that if only they'd allowed us our drink and our fun
We'd have given it all back with interest and pleasure in the long run that would never come

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard, it's credit where credit ain’t due
What you failed to account for per your calculations is that fools sometimes get lucky too

[Chorus]
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be a fool
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too

[Verse 3]
The fiddler, he feels that his rights as a red-blooded patriot have been infringed
He says he's entitled to whiskey by sovereignty, birthright, and citizenship
And if they're running bad because we're drinking liquor, it doesn’t reflect on them well
'Cause who hasn't overindulged and then drunkenly dragged a few pots? What the hell?

[Chorus]
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be a fool
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too
Yeah, fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too
