No Trump Hand (Remix) Lyrics

I remember as a youngster, at my momma's knee

She always taught us right, as you will see

She taught us to play some crazy card games

With the deck of 52, we learned all the names

But I had trouble with the suits, you understand

I had trouble holding all those cards in my hand

Spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs I cried

Isn't there a way we can simplify

So I made a suggestion, this was my plan

Maybe we could all play a NO TRUMP hand

NO TRUMP hand, a NO TRUMP hand

I just want to play a NO TRUMP hand

NO, NO, NO!

Well, late last night, I took a walk downtown

Not really going anywhere, just rousting around

Of course, I ended up there in Duffy's back room

And wouldn't you know a card game started up real soon

Dealing out the cards was a woman named Respect

She shuffled a bit and let me cut the deck

Dealt the cards all round and we began to play

I remember her words to this very day

She made a suggestion, she had a plan

She said we could all play a NO TRUMP hand

NO TRUMP hand, a NO TRUMP hand

I just want to play a NO TRUMP hand

NO, NO, NO, Well, AAAAAAAAH

Well, I never did really get along with the suits

With their lousy loud ties and their pointy-toed boots

Always seemed that they were up to no good

Trash talking all over the neighbourhood

I worked with the spades, but they never really dug me

I hung with the hearts, but they just want to hug me

I dug up some diamonds, but they all turned red

I picked up some clubs, but they beat me on the head

and I can't deal with this anymore

I look at the world around me now, and I see too many suits

They care about themselves, they don't give any hoots.

Politics, religion and nationality

Divide us up with this artificiality

They only care about making more and more money

And after that they try to stroke a young kitty

We can put all these differences aside

We can all get onboard and enjoy the ride

So I make this suggestion, here is the plan

Maybe we could all play a NO TRUMP hand

NO TRUMP hand, a NO TRUMP hand

I just want to play a NO TRUMP hand

NO, NO, NO, Well, AAAAAAAAH!

NO TRUMP, NO TRUMP, NO TRUMP,

No, No , No, Aaaaaah!
