I Got Mine

歌詞

Well, I went down to a big crap game Certainly was against my will I lost every doggone nickel I had But a greenback dollar bill The boys had a bet layin' on the floor And my buddy's point were nine When the police come they got all a'them But I got mine I got mine, lemme tell ya, I got mine I grabbed that money and out the backdoor, I went flyin' Ever since that big crap game, I been livin' on chicken and wine I'm a leader in high society, yeah, since I got mine Now I went down to a turkey feast And that dinner certainly was fine Fifteen minutes 'fore the table was set All the jitterbugs fell in line When they brought them carboys in Uncle Joe, how his eyes did shine I mean, talk about wrestlin' and grabbin' Now I got mine Whoa, I got mine, lemme tell ya, I got mine I grabbed that turkey and out the backdoor, I went flyin' I tried to make it to a hidin' place But I didn't get there in time Some rascal grabbed me by my coat And I got mine Well, I went down to my best gal's house last night And the hour was just about nine I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford But I was feelin' just as fine I caught her sitting on another rascal's lap I didn't like that sign I told that joker what I thought of him And I got mine. Yeah, I got mine, lemme tell ya, I got mine I grabbed my coat and out the backdoor, I went flyin' That joker grabbed a big shotgun And he used it mighty fine I mean, talk about a rascal runnin', yeah Now I got mine Say, I know a barbershop, down in town, it's over on North Fall Street It's the only place on a Saturday night that we gamblers can all meet Some come in for haircut, some come in for a scrap When they see my buddy and me down there, we mean to shoot some crap Holler "Seven, eleven, won't you come, come, come" If you don't seven-eleven dice, I'm done, done, done If I see the police 'fore he sees me, I'm gonna run, run, run I'm a leader in high society, yeah, since I got mine
