Bring the Whole Family

John Boylan, Terence Boylan

[Verse 1]
Your empty pockets tell you that your day's been badly burned
And the bright new light and tables don't show much you haven't learned
The pocket's getting smaller, you're not shooting like you should
But if this is where you spend your life, you better make it good

[Chorus]
Two on the five, five on the nine
Give you all the breaks
Two on the five, five on the nine
You got what it takes

[Verse 2]
A good excuse for losing's worth as much as you can win
And there's not much going down except the game that you are in
But Uncle Billy's dealing, and if you can hold your own
You might just fill that straight, boy, you might take something home

[Chorus]
High spade splits in high-low game
Aces go both ways
Remember all those marks on the cards
You know how it pays

[Bridge]
If I could shoot just like the rain
Just like this rain
Just rain, just rain
I'd go down to the pool room

[Chorus]
Two on the five, five on the nine
Give you all the breaks
Two on the five, five on the nine
You got what it takes
High spade splits in high-low game
Aces go both ways
Remember all those marks on the cards
You know how it pays
Two on the five, five on the nine
Give you all the breaks
Two on the five, five on the nine
You got what it takes
