Backroom Boys
The backroom boys are playin?real hard
There뭩 a lot of money rollin?on the next card
Some are goin?up some are goin?down
Some뭠l never make it to the next round
Stone me it don뭪 come free
You gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin?meaner with the dealer--뭖ause he can뭪 lose
Someone shouts out,봧t뭩 a goddamn shame?The dealer뭩 gettin?meaner with the cocaine
*Stone me it don뭪 come free
Gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Can뭪 stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you wanna be a backroom boy
** Up all night, playin?it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
** The backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when you뭨e up, kick you when you뭨e down
You뭠l always be a loser in their town
