Serious

[Verse 1]

When I think back at my time at the track

And I played and I played and I played and I was

Shooting the craps with the back of Fat Jack's

Come on fade me, Jake

I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners

A bath, what a bath, what a bath I'd take

A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake

I took that serious

[Chorus]

All of my life was a laugh and a joke

And a drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again

[Verse 2]

I'm a gambling fool with a roll and a cue

Wanna play, wanna play, wanna play with me

Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime

And they picked me clean

The chance and the game drove Old Silky insane

What a pain what a strain on my brain it was

A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake

I took that serious

[Chorus]

All of my life was a laugh and a joke

A drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again

[Bridge]

Serious, it was serious, oh so serious

[Chorus/Outro]

All of my life was a laugh and a joke

A drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor (or a friend)

Again and again and again and again and again

All of my life was a laugh and a joke

A drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again and again

And again and again
