about

This song was inspired by a trip to Switzerland and a game of cards whilst there.

lyrics

Deal the cards,
With lots of tricks to play.
Eight or wait,
Let's change the suit he said.
But we know,
Your favourite hand to play,
Two or pick up two,
You can't have it all they say.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
No no,
You can't have it all they say.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
No no,
You can't have it all they say.

Split the deck,
Uneven piles fall.
Spade or club to start,
I guess that will be your call.
Winning streak,
But how long will it last.
You play your final card,
You can't have it all they say.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
No no,
You can't have it all they say.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
No no,
You can't have it all they say.
(x2)
