(1st Verse)
The soldier's are cardboard
Ranked one to fourteen
Who never die but fold
On a battlefield of green
The players are Generals
Who shoot from their hips
Bombarding each other
With artillery of chips
(Chorous)
The game is deception
Play close to your chest
For the worst's not the worst
And the best's not the best
What's believed is what counts
In fact the two are the same
The weakest can win
In the great Cheating Game!
(2nd Verse)
And just like the real-thing
Four hours the battles rage
Sun Tao's 'Art of War!'
Around a green baize!
When you're strong you're in danger
When you're weak you're safe
So never get greedy
By this rule your game make!
(Bridge Verse)
And while the 'Set'
The 'Straight'
And The 'Flush
All look grand!
Only fools bluffing 'dead!'
Lose big pots with small hands!
(3rd Verse)
Show strength early
Narrow the field
Only 'slow-play' invincibility
Bullets you'll dodge! Big pots you'll yield!
Trust your intuitions
Follow your guts
But beware of 'Board Pairs!'
They can beat your hand 'Nuts!'
(Chorous Verse)
(Final Verse)
Only four are great company
Two, not at all
If ever faced with 'All-in!'
'Show first and then 'Call!'
Yes, be both the Fox and the Lion
Always obscure as a knave
For in Poker, as in Life!
Fortune favours the wise and the brave!
