I'm waiting for ships that never

Come in I wonder where they can be

Life is only a game of poker

And happiness is the partner

They deal you five cards in the

Cradle and you play with your

Like it or not

Some game had a start with

And the game doesn't seem

On the square

When you pick up your cards

And discover you were born

Without even a pair

But there's no use in kicking

Nor squawking

Just pick up your cards and

Begin to figure in plan and puzzle

While fate looks on with a grin

Some take a chance on bluffing

And stake everything gotthey've

On a little yankee poor flush

And sometimes that wins a plot

Others will break up openers

To draw for a middle straight

They know the chance they're

Takin' and they learned your

Mistake too late

Some can't plan crook it

Against all good advice

But they seldom get away

With it at the end they've

Paid the price

The most of us play straight

Poker but I'll tell you boys it's hard

When you're there with both

Ends open and you draw

Can't the winning card

Now I've always been a loser

It seems that I never can win

Andr I'm just a dreamer who's

Waiting for ships that never come in

I wonder where they can be
