The backroom boys are playin` real hard There`s a lot of money rollin` on the next card Some are goin` up some are goin` down Some`ll never make it to the next round Stone me it don`t come free You gotta be a winner If you wanna be a backroom boy They got--a room full of women A table full of booze Gettin` meaner with the dealer--`cause he can`t lose Someone shouts out, ”it`s a goddamn shame” The dealer`s gettin` meaner with the cocaine *stone me it don`t come free Gotta be a winner If you wanna be a backroom boy Can`t stay home get uptown Get your ear to the ground If you wanna be a backroom boy up all night, playin` it rightBackroom boysLook in your eye, never say die Backroom boys ***the backroom boys are all the same Even take your money when they play games Take you when you`re up, kick you when you`re down You`ll always be a loser in their town repeat * repeat ** repeat *** repeat * (2x) |
