Ace Of Spades


The cards you are dealt with sometimes just aren't fair 
To be the rarest. To be chosen of all
Surely comes with a bit of secrets to bare
The highest gratitude played of man 
A total deal of fortune in someone's hand
A king of Diamonds may have power
While the queen of Clovers is a delicate flower
Queen of Hearts has love to fall
Take a risk to show your play 
2 or 3 of a kind may be at bay
No one is as lucky these days 
Everyone plays with life 
Only the luckiest of them all in a Royal Flush
Play only by the strict rules of life
Those Rules never ending without strike
Nevertheless, keep mindful of deals
Kings, Queens, and Jacks of appeal 
Yes, Let's call a Spade, a Spade
How awful Jokers aren't played
