It'll cost you, cost you, cost you
The lucky beginner just a five card stud
But it's no cheap thrill
Butcher boy thinks he'll be splitting the pot
Anything you have to pay
It'll cost you, cost you, cost you
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
It'll cost you, cost you, cost you
But it's no cheap thrill
What's underneath all of the deadpan face
But it's no cheap thrill
Lamebrain Pete wants to spit in the sea
What's underneath all of the deadpan face
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
Anything you have to pay
I'll match you, I'll bet you, I'll play you
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
It'll cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay
I limit the straddles and you shuffle and deal
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
But it's no cheap thrill
I've seen what he's got and it isn't a lot
He's got a cool hand but it isn't for me
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
Anything you have to pay
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
Ante up, don't be shy
Anything you have to pay
