Deuce Is Wild

big windy just blew in

four stars and all

down at the corner

where the ice is thin

he’s got them lined up in the hall

haute couture when the lights are low

snakeskin to her teeth

she looked just like james cagney

when she turned around

but her body is beyond belief

so bet it all cause

deuce  is  wild

what have we got to lose

deuce  is  wild

deuce  is  wild

low riders in the lumber yard

deacon burton’s got a knife

and everybody sees the corn king’s child

is over talkin’ to his wife

pulled the needle on a one-way case

drove him backwards down the hall

dressed in kakai pants and persian lace

they pinned his number to the wall

so bet it all cause

deuce  is  wild

what have we got to lose

deuce  is  wild

deuce  is  wild
