They occupied our country
We were almost overrun
I knew if I did not react
They’d kill us, everyone
I promised to my mother
She meant so much to me
That for every single tear she shed
There’d be a victory
That for every single tear she shed
There’d be a victory
Who’s holding aces?
And who’s gonna fold?
And who’s got a secret?
And who’s feeling bold?
It’s a winning combination
If a lady understands
That the King and the Queen of Hearts
Could be a perfect hand
That the King and the Queen of Hearts
Could be a perfect hand
So know what you are holding
But be prepared to bluff
There are many ways to win a game
And skill is not enough
There are many ways to win a game
And skill is not enough
We were almost overrun
I knew if I did not react
They’d kill us, everyone
I promised to my mother
She meant so much to me
That for every single tear she shed
There’d be a victory
That for every single tear she shed
There’d be a victory
Who’s holding aces?
And who’s gonna fold?
And who’s got a secret?
And who’s feeling bold?
It’s a winning combination
If a lady understands
That the King and the Queen of Hearts
Could be a perfect hand
That the King and the Queen of Hearts
Could be a perfect hand
So know what you are holding
But be prepared to bluff
There are many ways to win a game
And skill is not enough
There are many ways to win a game
And skill is not enough
