K / Kay Starr / I'm Waiting for Ships That Never Come In
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 pot Fate deals you five cards in the cradle And you play, whether you like it or not
Some get a pat hand to start with And the game doesn't seem on the square When you look at your hand and discover You were born without even a pair
But there's no use in kicking or squawking Just pick up your cards and begin To figure and plan and puzzle While Fate looks on with a grin
Some take a chance at bluffing And stake everything they've got On a dinky little four-flush And, sometimes, it wins the pot
Others will break up openers To draw for a middle straight They know what a chance they're taking And they learn their mistake too late
Some can't help playing crooked Against all good advice But they seldom get away with it And in the end, they'll pay the price
