Fixing The Game

The crowd lines up for lotto
OTB the Pick Six
you play the ponies in your pajamas
and you dream about the fix
while these fools are getting skinned
you’re in Rio with a dame
‘cause you know a man who’s fixing the game
Fixing the game

Bus ride to Vegas
you dream of chicks and private jets
you don’t need Lady Luck
and only suckers place their bets
got a cousin on the inside
life will never be the same
‘cause he knows a man who’s fixing the game
Fixing the game

You’ve got your alligator shoes now
and your Cuban cigars
you unload your Euros at their highs
on a banker named Klaus
You’ve got a briefcase full of gold bars
in case you bet the Renoirs
and lose the art the cars the yacht
the jewelry and the house

Flop house or palazzo
there is nothing in between
but a pounding in your brain
and a masseuse named Maureen
the boxer didn’t lay down
the greyhound’s running lame
but you know a man who’s fixing
you know a man who’s fixing
you know a man who’s fixing the game
Fixing the game
Fixing the game
