Shot in the Dark |
Bobby the Book and Sammy the Snitch |
Both trying to get with Alabama the Bitch |
She’d date any scoundrel as long as they’re rich you know |
She’s juicing the Philly’s and riggin' the rig |
She’s taking the wagers and laying the vig |
It’s not a profession but it ain’t a bad gig oh no |
Penny arcade had a bad break |
Was it supposed to happen or just a mistake |
And who’s gonna know when everyone’s on the take yeah |
A day at the races a shot at the dark |
Santa Anita or Hollywood park |
The odds are against you and that’s how they stay |
But that’s what you get if you play |
Manny the Mug and Shelly the Shill |
Are trying to drink something other than swill |
So who do they got? |
a-Jupiter Jill in the fifth |
Long shot came in at ninety to one |
They bet twenty large with Alabama |
But she never laid it down 'cause that horse had never won |
Manny and Shell got nothing from 'Bam |
Put out a hit so she went on the lam |
There’s no one for Bobby and no one for Sam oh no |
A day at the races a shot at the dark |
Santa Anita or Hollywood park |
The odds are against you and that’s how they stay |
But that’s what you get if you play |
And that’s what you get when you play |
