You Cannot Win If You Do Not Play

Lyrics

I was sittin' by the road, my head in a cloud
 Wishin' that I had some wings
 Wishin' for a scooter, wishin' for a train or
 Any kind of movin' thing
 Well, I looked at the trees, I looked at the sky
 I seen it was a lovely day
 I looked up the road, I looked at my feet
 I picked it up an' I walked away
 Well, you cannot win if you do not play
 You cannot win, oh, if you do not play
 Well, I went to the fair lookin' for fun
 I think the whole world was there
 Yes, I saw a fat man, I saw a thin man
 I saw a little teddy bear
 Well, I said to myself
 "I know what I want, I gotta get a little bear some way"
 I heard a loud voice, it said a few words
 It said, "You gotta take a chance an' you gotta pay, boy"
 Well, you cannot win if you do not play
 No, you cannot win, whoa, if you do not play
 Pretty young Pam, you're bringin' me down baby
 All you do is make-uh me blue
 I'm under the trees, I'm waiting alone now
 Tryin' to sing a song to you
 Well, the night is so clear, the moon is so bright
 Fine but you're wastin' it all away
 You're up on a hill, I'm down here below
 I'm, I'm tryin' to tell you babe, it ain't okay
 No, you cannot win if you do not play
 You cannot win if you do not play
 And you cannot win if you do not play
 [Incomprehensible]
 Oh yeah
