Shot In the Dark

Bobby the Book and Sammy the Snitch
both trying to get with Alabama the Bitch
She'd date any scoundrel as long as they're rich you know

She's juicing the Philly's riggin' the rig
she's tagging the wages laying the vig
it's not a profession but it ain't a bad gig oh no

Penny I can't had a bad break
was it supposed to happen or just a mistake
and who's gonna know when everyone's on the take yeah

A day at the races a shot at the dark
Santa Anita or Hollywood park
the odds are against you and that's how they stay
but that's what you get if you play

Manny the Mug and Shelly the Shill
are trying to drink something other than swill
So put all they got on Jupiter Jill in the fifth

Long shot came in at ninety to one
and that's when he lodged with Alabama
but she never laid it down 'cuz that horse that never won.

Manny and Shell got nothing from Bam
put her to hit so she went on a lam
there's no more for Bobby and no more for Sam oh no

A day at the races a shot at the dark
Santa Anita or Hollywood park
the odds are against you and that's how they stay
but that's what you get if you play

and that's what you get when you play
