Lyrics

Aces, lyrics and Music by Al Monte. Verse Deal The Cards And Watch The Faces, Listen To Them As They Fall, Not Every Smile, Can Hide The Traces, And The River Settles All, Your Hand May Offer Freedom, But There's No Way To Cheat Your Fate, I Can Tell You It's No Cake Walk, Once You Bid, It's Way Too Late, Verse Two, Kings And Queens Have No Favorites, Color Never Plays A Role, And The Kitty's Never Partial, Fairly Won, Or Fairly Stole, Do Your Best Of Do Your Worst, No Matter How Much You Rehearse, Win, Lose Or Draw, The Cards Care Not About The Law, Chorus, Aces, Look Who's Playing Aces, Give And You Shall Receive, Aces, Watch Them Come And Watch Them Go, But Never Doubt What You Believe. Verse Deuces Sometimes Topple Kings, Jacks Can Decimate The Queens, And A Pair Though Low, Beats A Face Card, Blows It To Smithereens. The Better Hand Doesn't Always Win, You're A Genius Or A Clown, Believe In Your Draw Or Perish, Once You've Laid The Money Down, Repeat First Verse, then end with Chorus 2 Aces, When Life Gives Up Aces, Careful, The Hammer's Bound To Fall, Aces, Watch Them Come And Watch Them Go, One Day, You Will Lose, One Day You Will Lose, One Day, You Will Lose It All, Aces, When Life Gives Up Aces
