Ever since I can remember nothing's ever gone my way.
Everything I ever got I had to work for every day.
From the sun up in the morning 'til dusk draws in at night
Nothin' ain' worth anything unless it's worth a fight.
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
Lola a small time evening worker hits the streets at ten.
She wears designer clothing paid for by a thousand men.
No matter what she wants from life she always gets it somehow.
But one day Johnny threw a grand at her 'n' asked "what you got for me now"?
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
World war two. The wing commander in his plane
Radioed to all his men "let's go an' get the bloody Hun".
Barely five minutes after that he was tumbling from the sky
As Jerry laughed " What do you think now that you're gonna die"?
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
The pawns were sent out on their own while the knights stayed in the dark.
The whites were killing all the blacks until the blacks had had enough
So the bishop left his castle, and then stole away the queen
And the king asked how can I check this out before they come for me.
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
John the Baptist, or was it the grand old Duke of York?
Took his troops for a picnic over vales and glades and moors.
Then they came to a hill where they marched up and down again
'Til someone said "this hamper's heavy. Yorky please make up your mind".
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
Jake the one armed juggler took his circus act to town.
But every time he threw his clubs they fell straight to the ground.
Enter the tattooed lady with Picasso's on her tits.
She put his hand onto her art display an' asked d'you wanna Juggle these.
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
Glory be to the Father, Son and to the Holy Ghost.
Said the padre as he buried Milligan who'd murdered, raped and robbed.
St. Peter at the Pearly Gates asked "what's your greatest sin"?
Answer or be doomed for evermore. Why should I let you in"?
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
Now everybody has a weakness, but some keep it well hid.
Some folk deny quite flatly what ever it is they did.
I make no false excuses. I admit that I'm not strong.
But please don't ask me why I wrote this song.
Sixteen bucks, I'll get you anything.
Thirty-two you know my head begins to spin
But that sixty-four dollar question's guaranteed to get me every time.
