Van Morrison, The Band - 4% Pantomime lyrics

The management said they were sorry

And I don't know whether to call or check
But right now I feel like I got a royal flush

And my lady didn't show from 'Frisco
But we had to go on with the show
Everybody got stoned - it was a gas
It was a smash
Everybody got wrecked, checked
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, Belfast cowboy
Lay your cards on the grade
Oh, Belfast cowboy
Can you call a spade a spade

Oh, Richard, tell me, is the game poker
I can't understand who the fool
Is that holds this joker is it poker

Lay your cards down on the table
Oh, Belfast Cowboy, do you think you're able
