[(B Ruzicka)] Jack of diamonds, queen of spades Fingers tremble and the memory fades And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer Jokers laughed and lady luck smiled The aces were high and the deuces were wild When you're down and losin', everyone's a cheater Chorus You can't win and you can't break even You can't get out of the game You shouldn't stay but you ain't leavin' 'Cos your luck may change again Just when things were going fine Someone jumped you from behind When you're down and losin', everyone's a cheater Chorus Jack of diamonds, queen of spades Fingers tremble and the memory fades When you're down and losin', everyone's a cheater Well, the jokers laughed and lady luck smiled The aces were high and the deuces were wild And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer Repeat
