The backroom boys are playin?real hard
Theres a lot of money rollin?on the next card
Some are goin?up some are goin?down
Somell never make it to the next round
Stone me it dont come free
You gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin?meaner with the dealer--cause he cant lose
Someone shouts out,its a goddamn shame?The dealers gettin?meaner with the cocaine
*Stone me it dont come free
Gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Cant stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you wanna be a backroom boy
** Up all night, playin?it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
** The backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when youre up, kick you when youre down
Youll always be a loser in their town
