Story Behind The Song
The author of the song has played in many low and high stakes poker games and is quite fluent with the probabilities of the game. Any time a female would be at the table there would be facinating flirtation underpinning the poker, which would usually give a distinct advantage to the ladies in the game. This song is an elaboration on those themes.
Song Description
The song is bubbly and effervescent. A deep understanding of the game of poker, its nuances and nomenclature is very helpful. Romance is interwoven with the competitive backdrop of the poker game. Although it is a pop song the tonal language very jazz oriented and could easily fit into an easy listening station. It would make a good cover tune for almost any jazz combination.

Lyrics
POKER GIRL
Comin? on strong with a king and a ten she?s a poker girl
Hummin? along but she won?t give a tell she?s a poker girl
If she?s bluffing or real you will have to tell by feel
She?s a poker girl, queen of hearts
Can?t even sleep ?cause her 2 ? 7 beat your aces
She didn?t look strong when the deuces came along on the end
But if you didn?t know by now she is sweetness all around
And it?s a game, just for two
Pardon me if I interrupt this hand to admire your eyes
Pardon me if I lean over the table just to peek a bit
Don?t mind me ?cause I?m falling deep in love with the poker girl
I am broke but madly all on fire for the poker girl
Her favorite hand is the Montana banana she?s the poker girl
She strokes the cards like she?s holding big slick
She?s a poker girl
If I get her in a hand when she?s holding the nuts
It?s the end of the game
Pardon me if I interrupt this hand for a little kiss
Pardon me if I tell that the boat is what I missed
