From the bottom of the deck without the slightest blush
And smashed it on a rock and wept
Is it poker?
I can't understand who the fool is that holds this joker
Everybody got stoned it was a gas, it was a smash
Oh, Richard, tell me, tell me, tell me is this game poker?
But right now I feel like I got a royal flush
You pay the tips, I'll collect the chips
Oh, Belfast cowboy, lay your cards down on the table
While the old couple looked on into the dark
And I don't know whether to call or check
Oh, Belfast cowboy, lay your cards on the grade
Yeah, you bet
Oh, Belfast cowboy, can you call a spade a spade?
Everybody got wrecked, checked, oh oh oh oh
But we had to go on with the show
And my lady didn't show from 'Frisco
And Mr. Booking Agent, please have mercy
Oh, Richard, tell me if it's poker
The dealer's been dealing me bad hands
Is it poker?
With a fifth of Johnny Walker red
It's a full house tonight everybody in town is a loser
I'll see what you got, how much is in the pot
We went up to Griffith Park
Deuces wild, like an only child
Oh, Richard, tell me, who's got the joker
Don't book the jobs so far apart
