The whole damn world's an oyster to me and all I wanna do is play cards.

Verse:
I don't see much of my friends these days cuz all I wanna do is play cards.
Except whitey and gravy, they like a game and all I wanna do is play cards.
My neighbor Brent says I got a problem 
But he don't know cuz nobody taught him 
To bet the best when you know you got 'em and all I wanna do is play cards.

Chorus

Contract bridge and spades and whist and kings and little ones 
Canasta, hearts and spite and malice, kings make little ones 
Whores and fours and one-eyed bores, house rules that ain't acknowledged 
And them games you learned at vet school And at agricultural college

Chinese rummy, greek manila, omaha, dutch chase 
Start em when they're young with fish and war and crazy eights 
Twenty one and thirty one and seven twenty seven 
Well if i don't play for money, hon, will i still get to heaven
