You Can't Win Anyway

If you're gonna suffer who cares anyway?
I've been waiting for the crunch now for many a long day.
All you gotta do is come right up and say
The wheels are still turning and there's time left to play.

He's the dealer and we're the cards
So let's get the rules straight before we start.
I'm the ace and the joker is you.
You can't win anyway and I can't lose.

Deal 'em out anyway, but let's make it fast.
I've no time for bluffers so let's make it the last.
If you deal another I'll just have to pass.
You're playing for the nickels but I'm playing for the mass.

He's the dealer and we're the cards
So let's get the rules straight before we start.
I'm the ace and the joker is you.
You can't win anyway and I can't lose.

So you're calling trumps and you're sitting real tall.
Just keep the cards turning as I've no time to stall.
Now the table has turned and it's on you to call.
I knew it. I told you. You were due for the fall.

He's the dealer and we're the cards
So let's get the rules straight before we start.
I'm the ace and the joker is you.
You can't win anyway and I can't lose.

Double or quits, it don't matter to me.
Why not be a man and just admit your defeat.
I can tell by your face that's turned as white as a sheet
That you really hate losing and you won't let it be.

He's the dealer and we're the cards
So let's get the rules straight before we start.
I'm the ace and the joker is you.
You can't win anyway and I can't lose.
