Lyrics
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY, MY UNCLE GENE PASSED AWAY, HE WAS MY FAVORITE, NO PRINCE AMONG MEN, BUT HE WAS SOMETHIN' SPECIAL, CAUSE HE WAS MY FRIEND. I CAN STILL REMEMBER THINGS THAT WE DID, HE TAUGHT ME TO PLAY POKER, WHEN I WAS A KID, ME AND MY BROTHER TO MY MOTHER'S DISMAY, IF I LISTEN CLOSELY, I CAN HEAR HIM SAY.
CHORUS: PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT BOY, TAKE IT LIKE A MAN, BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR, ON A WINNIN' HAND, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU BLUFF, TIMES WHEN YOU FOLD, IF LADY LUCK IS SMILIN', THAT'S YOUR ACE IN THE HOLE.
VS:2
WELL, NOW I'M GROWN WITH KIDS AND A WIFE, SEEMS I'VE STRUGGLED MOST OF MY LIFE. WHEN THINGS COME UP, I KNOW I'M GONNA DREAD, I JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT UNCLE GENE SAID.
REPEAT CHORUS:
VS:3
WELL, I CAN SEE YOU'RE JUST STARTIN' OUT, THERE MIGHT BE TIMES YOU HAVE YOUR DOUBTS, IF YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTIN' YOU BETTER THINK TWICE, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH HERE'S SOME ADVICE.
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE:
TAG:
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, BOY,
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, BOY,
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, BOY.
