pool hall richard

Singer:faces, the

sweatin' hard

i didn't get a shot

all i did was stand around and get too hot

knowin' all the people walkin' on my side

losin' all my money and i'm getting tired

all the women come a-runnin' like he's getty's son

makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun

i don't mind

but he wants my lady too

you know the crowd gets bigger as the word goes 'round

pool hall king was playin' back in town

minnesota fats standin' up at the back

tryin' to hide himself in a plastic mack

you ought to hear the silence when the kid walks in

his reputation's bigger than gasoline

i don't mind but he's tryin' to fill my lady too

pool hall richard

you're far too wicked we know

pool hall richard

kid you're wicked

we know

you broke more hearts than a gigolo could ever do

with your yellow carnation and your pink satin shoe

you make me jealous but i worship you

one day soon i'm gonna beat you clean

wipe that smile right off your chin

everybody gonna drive from miles around

cuein' up to see me take away your crown

then you'll never never ever take my lady then

pool hall richard

you're far too wicked we know

pool hall richard

kid you're wicked

we know

you broke more hearts than a gigolo could ever do

bam goes the brown

that's another one down

know they play much better when the sun goes down

bang goes the green

you're so obscene

your hands are dirty but your scent is clean

bam goes the blue

lock away your cue

the pool hall king is hustlin' you

bam goes the 8-ball

didn't see it spin at all

this kid can play

oh yeah

bam goes the brown

ooh another one down

know they play much better when the sun goes down

bang goes the green

you're so obscene

your hands are dirty

your scent is clean

damn the pink

one more to sink

gonna beat you someday 'cause you're makin' me sick

down on the black

at the back of the pack

aw

you nearly missed

you ain't so hot

pool hall richard

kid you're wicked

we know

you broke more hearts than a gigolo could ever do

you're breakin' my heart

but you're stealin' my tart

shut up
