| I was sittin’by the road, my head in a cloud,
|
| wishin’that I had some wings;
|
| wishin’for a scooter, a-wishin'for a train
|
| or any kin’o’movin’thing.
|
| Well, I looked at the trees,
|
| I looked at the sky,
|
| I seen it was a lovely day.
|
| I looked up the road, I looked at my feet,
|
| I picked it up an’walked away.
|
| Well, you cannot win if you do not play.
|
| No, you cannot win if you do not play.
|
| Well, I went to the fair, lookin’for fun.
|
| I think the whole world was there.
|
| I saw a fat man, I saw a thin man.
|
| I saw a little teddy bear.
|
| Well, I said to myself,
|
| «I know what I want. |
| I gotta get a bear some way.»
|
| I heard a loud voice. |
| It said a few words.
|
| It said, «You gotta take a chance an’pay.»
|
| Well, you cannot win if you do not play
|
| No, you cannot win if you do not play
|
| Pretty young Pam, you’re bringin’me down baby,
|
| All ya do is make-uh me blue.
|
| I’m under the trees, I’m waiting alone,
|
| Tryna sing a song to you.
|
| Well, the night is so clear, the moon is so bright;
|
| you’re wastin’it all away.
|
| You’re up on a hill, I’m down here below.
|
| I’m tryna tell ya babe, it aint okay.
|
| Well, you cannot win if you do not play.
|
| You cannot win if you do not play. |
