Alright, alright, alright Alright, alright, alright, alright I was sittin' by the road My head in a cloud Wishin' that I had some wings A-wishin' for a scooter A-wishin' for a train Or any kinda movin' thing Well, I looked at the trees Looked at the sky Seen it was a lovely day I looked up the road Looked at my feet An' picked it up And walked away Ya cannot win If you do not play Ya cannot win If you do not play Well, went to the fair Lookin' for fun 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 Gotta get a bear some way." I heard a loud voice Said a few words
It said, "You gotta take a chance an' play boy." Ya cannot win If you do not play An' ya cannot win If you do not play Pretty, young Pam You're bringin' me down baby All ya do is make me blue I'm under the trees Waiting alone now Try'na sing a song for 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 try'na tell ya babe, it ain't okay Ya cannot win If you do not play Yea, ya cannot win If you do not play Ya cannot win If you do not play One more time Ya cannot win Ah, yes everybody if ya don't know the end right here now If you do not play Thank you
