Lyrics:

The song is about a poker game with the devil–as a metaphor for life.
Oh my

20 thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left has folded down
Well Johnny doubled up with a royal flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning, just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Well then dude walks in, black hat on top
What a mop, I'm lucky
Wasn't a county cop
'Cause I'm just runnin' out of time

Who's up for game two
What to do
My wallet's gettin' thin
And I just lost my watch last night
Well I got a problem
Just one answer
Gotta throw it all down
And kiss it goodbye, yeah

That was a crazy game of poker
(That was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(I lost it all)
But someday I'll be back again
And I, never to fold
(Never to fold)

Who's up for game three
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
And I just lost it all
Well there's a man sittin' next to me
Red, with smiling eyes
It's funny
I don't have no money tonight
Yeah

That was a crazy game of poker
(That was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(I lost it all)
But someday I'll be back again
And I, never to fold
(Never to fold)

I say now skittleedat dat
Well how 'bout that?
I'm comin' out the front, never comin' out the back
And I walked into the bar yesterday
'Cause I had something to do, somethin' to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and I didn't turn around
'Til I heard the sound of his feet fallin' on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown
And I said whatcha doin' in the bar tonight

So I said Johnny whatcha doin' tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how 'bout a revolution?
And he said right
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah jah jah
Day day oh

And I said, whatcha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat
I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for
I said I'm wandering round the road four to four
And I said I been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker

So I said Johnny whatcha doin' tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how 'bout a revolution?
And he said right
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah jah jah
Day day oh

I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
But I'm not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
I don't give a shit 'cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine
And I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sittin' across the table from me
And to my left was a man, he had no tan
Didn't really think about starting a scene
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Because I took his money last night it's kinda funny
But now I'm just struggling
I need a honey-bunny
I don't know what to say anymore
So I'm just gonna go out, anywho

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how 'bout a revolution?
And he said right
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah jah jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah jah jah
Day day oh
