The backroom boys are playin?real hard

Theres a lot of money rollin?on the next card

Some are goin?up some are goin?down

Somell never make it to the next round



Stone me it dont 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 cant lose

Someone shouts out,its a goddamn shame?The dealers gettin?meaner with the cocaine



*Stone me it dont come free

Gotta be a winner

If you wanna be a backroom boy

Cant stay home get uptown

Get your ear to the ground

If you wanna be a backroom boy



** Up all night, playin?it right

Backroom boys

Look 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 youre up, kick you when youre down

Youll always be a loser in their town
