"The Winner Takes It All"

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now Hand history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's a destiny

I was in that hand
Thinking I belonged there
Happy with King Jack
Building me a stack
Building me a pot
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing with no rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses one hand dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.

But tell me should I shove?
Should I just have folded?
How it made me frown
When you called me down
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I’d raise you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

Producers will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Will see my demise
The game is on again
Hartigan and a friend
Review my rise and fall
The winner takes it all

They came from the East,
They came from the West,
To sit at the table
And give it their best.

One player limps,
Another one folds,
One player raised
Just to be bold.

The old man on the end,
without seeing his cards,
pushes all-in,
without disregard.

I look at my cards,
And i'm taken aback,
i've got pocket aces,
Both of them black.

My eyes start to twinkle,
As I show a big grin,
" I call you old man, "
" I too am all-in "

The cards are turned over,
onto the felt,
7-2 off suit VS aces
is what has been dealt.

Here comes the flop,
and what are the odds,
7-7-7 !!!
The old man just flopped Quads!!!

My eyes turn bloodshot,
And my teeth start to gnash,
As I quickly realize
My aces are TRASH!

He leaned into the table,
with a crackle in his hips,
Extended his arms,
And scooped all my chips!

I wish I could laugh,
But this is no joke,
I pushed All-in with aces,
And now I am broke!!!

MAXALLY

But hang on a min

The turn is a red ace,

Now so much of a din

As the old man loses his grin

The river brings another ace,

And the table are all in shock,

The pot goes to me with grace

Which puts a smile on the dealers face.

Its all rigged! pipes up a railer,

Sort it out Sky!! comes from another hailer!
