Irving Berlin

You're A Sucker For A Dame
[Verse:] You know the big percentage in roulette And that is why you never place a bet You've talked to sev'ral horses that have won And once or twice you knew who'd win before the race was run You know what's coming when the cards are cut You're on to each and ev'ry racket, but [1st refrain:] You're a sucker for a dame The pucker of a dame will make you jump Just like a chump When you gaze into her eyes The springs that make you wise refuse to work And you're a jerk I've seen you playing poker with three aces A hand of which you're very, very fond You knew that your opponent had three deuces But it happened your opponent was a blonde So you just threw your cards away And thought about the day when you became A sucker for a dame Songtexte[2nd refrain:] You're a softy for a dame You're lofty till a dame sets out her traps Then you collapse You can hold your own with guys But when a lady's eyes begin to pop You blow your top You're selling real estate that's under water The deal is set, you're riding on a crest The customer comes in to sign the papers In a sweater and a shelf upon her chest So you just tore your papers up And took her out to sup, then you became A sucker for a dame A sucker for a dame Aus Songtexte Mania
