Lyrics
I was sittin' by the road, my head in a cloud Wishin' that I had some wings; Wishin' for a scooter, a-wishin' for a train Or any kin' o' 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' walked away
Well, you cannot win if you do not play No, you cannot win if you do not play
Well, I went to the fair, lookin' for fun I think the whole world was there 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 bear some way." I heard a loud voice. it said a few words It said, "you gotta take a chance an' pay."
Well, you cannot win if you do not play No, you cannot win if you do not play
Pretty young pam, you're bringin' me down baby All ya do is make-uh me blue I'm under the trees, I'm waiting alone Tryna sing a song to you Well, the night is so clear, the moon is so bright; You're wastin' it all away You're up on a hill, I'm down here below I'm tryna tell ya babe, it aint okay
Well, you cannot win if you do not play You cannot win if you do not play
