The Gambler Alvin & The Chipmunks

[Alvin]:
On a cold winter morning
On a school bus bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-staring
At windows at the darkness
The boredom overtook us and he began to speak

He said
"Son, I've made a life
Out of reading people's faces
Knowing what their cards were
By the way they held their eyes

So if you don't mind me saying
I can see you're out of aces
For a sip of your soda
I'll give you some advice"

So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a twinkie
And he offered me a bite

And the day got deathly quiet
And his faced lost all expression
He said
"If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
