The Gee and the Rick and the Three Card Trick Nick Lowe

I seen a mean man become a man of means
I've seen a wine buff drink enough gasoline
To float a ship
Mmm-hmm-hmm, there's a trick to it
I got a hop, step, skip and jump
Ahead of the law for a while
And treaded every mile
Mmm-hmm-hmm, like there was nothing to it

I have heard every line and every possible lick
Till the gee and the rick and the three-card trick
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine

I seen a drip-drop become a raging tide
I seen a cream crop swallowing a ton of pride
And eat it up
Mmm-hmm-hmm, and make a meal of it
I knew a G-man who from his tenderest years
Had had his heart dead set upon a caring kind of career
Mmm-hmm-hmm, said he was bred to it

And oh yes, was he sharp, and oh boy, was he slick
Till the gee and the rick and the three-card trick
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine
Hmm-hmm
They're so fine
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine
