lyrics

GRAB A TABLE AND THROW ME THE CHALK
I WANNA PLAY AND I DON'T WANNA TALK
YOU GET THE RACK, I'LL GET THE BALLS
WE'LL BEAT THE BEST OF ALL THE HALLS
I GOT QUARTERS, I GOT YOU, SO GIMME A CUE

CLEAN THE GREEN AND RACK 'EM UP
YOU BREAK AND I'LL MAKE THE FIRST SHOT
YOU GOT SOLIDS, I GOT STRIPES
I'LL GET THE ANGLES ON YOU ALL NIGHT
I GOT QUARTERS, I GOT YOU, SO GIMME A CUE

OFF THE RAIL, ACROSS THE SLATE
A COMBINATION THAT'LL SINK THE EIGHT
CALL THE POCKET, I CAN'T SCRATCH
YOU'VE BEEN THE ONLY ONE THAT I CAN'T CATCH
I GOT QUARTERS, I'M LOOKING AT YOU, SO GIMME A CUE

GRAB A TABLE, I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK
WE'LL PLAY ALL NIGHT UNTIL WE CAN'T THINK
YOU GOT THE RACK, I GOT THE BALLS
WE'LL PLAY OUR BEST AND WE'LL BEAT THEM ALL
I GOT QUARTERS, ENOUGH FOR TWO, AND I DON'T EVEN NEED TO THINK IT THROUGH

I GOT YOU, WE GOT THE CUES LET'S CHASE THE BLUES
