( Funny card song lyrics )
WINNING WITH A LOSING HAND
Copyright © 1998 - mickterry.com

1: She thinks I'm winning with a losing hand,
'though I haven't got an ace in the hole.
Although her deck may be stacked,
I'm going to win it right back
before her strategy can get me to fold.

2: And I'm playing with a Joker that's wild,
'though she doesn't look that crazy to me.
The way she's holding a pair
makes the distraction unfair.
But then, I won't complain if she doesn't leave.

BRIDGE:
All my cards are on the table,
the deck is in her hand.
I'm playing for the Queen of Hearts,
who's truly in command.
If she sees me as a Joker
& the laughter that he brings,
then maybe that just deals me
one card closer to her King.
All my cards are on the table,
there's nothing up my sleeve.
Both of us would be the Fool
to cash in now & leave.

3: Yet I'm pulling every trick that I can,
as I'm bluffing quite more often than not.
'Cause if the stakes are too small,
it's not worth playing at all.
& so I've got to give it all that I've got.

4: And I'm winning with a losing hand,
'though I haven't got an ace in the hole.
'Cause either way, we'll both win,
no matter who's showing skin.
& this strip poker game will never get old.
