lyrics

HOUSE OF CARDS
We’re living in a house of cards
And we’re all in this together
We’re living in a house of cards
And we always wish for rainy weather

Momma is a card shark
When she plays Go Fish
You know you better stay out of the deep end
And Sister’s kinda crazy
When it comes to Crazy Eights
We know she’ll keep on playing until night’s end

Cause we’re living in a house of cards
We don’t walk around, we shuffle
We’re living in a house of cards
And if we lose the deck there’s a kerfuffle

Grandma never plays old maid
Says it’s not a nice name
But she plays nearly every other card game
And I’ll stake my Uno claim
And my dad, he’s the same
We think that Pinochle should be our last name

And we’re living in a house of cards
No one here is afraid of some luck
And we’re living in a house of cards
But we never play that 52 card pickup

Now some say a smart phone is really what I need
That a console will make me all agog
But this pack of cards in font of me is all I see
I prefer analog

Well there is,
(Drew) Blackjack, Slapjack, Pitty Pat and Baccarat
(Jack) Canasta, Let it Ride, Gin Rummy on the side
(Dean) Euchre, Poker, Zap Your Neighbor, Pegs and Jokers
(Daron) Kings Corners and Hi-Low, shuffle up and watch it go
(Drew) Sequence and Solitaire, Contract Bridge and Guldgrävare
(Jack) Texas Hold Em, Twenty one, and Mah Jong is pretty fun
(Dean) Got yer Hearts, and the Spades And don’t forget Old Maid?
(Daron) Get yer cards and the games, they’ve all got peculiar names

We’re living in a house of cards
