Bilingual
They're occupyin' our country
We were almost over-run
I knew if I did not react, they'd kill us, everyone
I promised to my mother
She meant so much to me
That for every single tear she shed, there'd be a victory
That for every single tear she shed, there'd be a victory
Who's holdin' aces, and who's gonna fold?
And who's got a secret, and who's feelin' bold?
It's a winning combination
If the lady understands that the King and the Queen of Hearts
Could be a perfect hand
That the king and the queen of hearts
Can be a perfect hand
ย
So know what you are holding
But be prepared to bluff
There are many ways to win a game
And skill is not enough
There are many ways to win a game
And skill is not enough
Who's holdin' aces, and who's gonna fold?
And who's got a secret, and who's feelin' bold?
It's a winning combination
If the lady understands that the king and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand
That the king and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand
And the sinners are in business
But most of the volume left
You ladies all know how things work
You know how to get things done
And if you open the door for a lady
You open a door for yourself
And the stranger's only someone
Who you have yet to help
Who's holdin' aces, and who's gonna fold?
And who's got a secret, and who's feelin' bold?
It's a winning combination
If the lady understands that the king and the queen of Hearts
Could be a perfect hand
That the king and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand
