Backroom Boys Lyrics

Artist: Nazareth
Album: Sound Elixir

The backroom boys are playinâ‚¬â„¢ real hard
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s a lot of money rollinâ‚¬â„¢ on the next card
Some are goinâ‚¬â„¢ up some are goinâ‚¬â„¢ down
Someâ‚¬â„¢ll never make it to the next round

Stone me it donâ‚¬â„¢t 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
Gettinâ‚¬â„¢ meaner with the dealer--â‚¬â„¢cause he canâ‚¬â„¢t lose
Someone shouts out,â‚¬?itâ‚¬â„¢s a goddamn shameâ‚¬?
The dealerâ‚¬â„¢s gettinâ‚¬â„¢ meaner with the cocaine

*Stone me it donâ‚¬â„¢t come free
Gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Canâ‚¬â„¢t stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you wanna be a backroom boy

** Up all night, playinâ‚¬â„¢ 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 youâ‚¬â„¢re up, kick you when youâ‚¬â„¢re down
Youâ‚¬â„¢ll always be a loser in their town

repeat *

repeat **

repeat ***

repeat * (2x)
