Born, with these cards to play,
I was - born, with these cards to play
Born, with these cards to play -
I'm just a tired civil servant with some cards to play...

Tried spades but I'm going down,
The first trick they took put me underground
Feeling like a fool 'cause I bid too much
Spent half the game tryin' to cover it up...
