Politics And Poker
1: What do you say Ben, want a hand?
Ben: Nah, you guys go ahead. I got too much on my mind to play poker
1: King bets
2: Cost you five
Tony, up to you
3: I'm in
4: So am I
5: Likewise
1: Me too
Ben: Gentlemen, here we are and one thing is clear
We've gotta pick a candidate for Congress this year
1: Big Ace
2: Ace bets
3: You'll pay
Through the nose
4: I'm in
5: So am I
1: Likewise
5: Here goes
1: (Spoken) Possible straight, possible flush, nothing
Ben: Gentlemen, how about some names we can use? Some qualified Republican who's willing to lose
2: How's about we should make Jack Riley The guy
3: Which Riley are you thinking of, Jack B. or Jack Y.?
Ben: I say neither one; I've never even met 'em
4: I say when you gotta pair of Jacks
Bet 'em
All: Politics and Poker
Politics and Poker
Shuffle up the cards and find the Joker
Nether game's for children
Either game is rough
Decisions, decisions like
Ben: Who to pick
4: How to play
2: What to bet
All: When to call a bluff
Ben: Alright now fellas. Politics or Poker, which is more important?
1: Pair of treys
2: Bet 'em
3: Little treys
Good as gold
4: I'll stay
5: Raise you five
1: I'll call
2: I fold
3:(Spoken) Raise you back
4:(Spoken) I think you're bluffing
3:(Spoken) Put your money where your mouth is
Ben: Gentlemen, knock it off and let's get this done
5: Try Michael Paniaschenkowitz, I'm certain he'd run
Ben: Mike is out. I'm afraid he just wouldn't sell
Nobody likes a candidate whose name they can't spell
1: How about Dave Zimmerman?
Ben: Davie's too bright
2: What about Walt Gustafson?
Ben: Walt died last night
3: How about Frank Monahan?
4: What about George Gale?
Ben: Frank ain't a citizen and George is in jail
5: We could run Al Wallenstein
Ben: He's only 23
1: How about Ed Peterson?
2: You idiot!! That's me!!
All: Politics and Poker
Politics and Poker
Playing for a pot that's mediocre
Politics and Poker
Running neck and neck
If politics seems more predictable
That's because
Usually
You can stack the deck
Politics and Poker
Politics and Poker
Makes the average guy
A heavy smoker
Bless the nominee
And give him our regards
And watch while he learns that in
Poker and Politics
Brother you gotta have
That slippery
Haphazardous
Commodity
You gotta have the cards!
