The Gee And The Rick And The Three Card Trick

The Gee And The Rick And The Three Card Trick

(album: Nick Lowe And His Cowboy Outfit - 1984)

I seen a mean man become a man of means
I've seen a wine buff drink enough gasoline
To float a ship
Mmm-hmm-hmm, there's a trick to it
I got a hop, step, skip and jump
Ahead of the law for a while
And treaded every mile
Mmm-hmm-hmm, like there was nothing to it

I have heard every line and every possible lick
Till the gee and the rick and the three-card trick
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine

I seen a drip-drop become a raging tide
I seen a cream crop swallowing a ton of pride
And eat it up
Mmm-hmm-hmm, and make a meal of it
I knew a G-man who from his tenderest years
Had had his heart dead set upon a caring kind of career
Mmm-hmm-hmm, said he was bred to it

And oh yes, was he sharp, and oh boy, was he slick
Till the gee and the rick and the three-card trick
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine
Hmm-hmm
They're so fine
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine

I seen a big wheel, barely ten years old
Turn a pocket full of glitter into pure gold
And what a snip
Mmm-hmm-hmm, there ain't a mark on it
I seen a dog walk in the wink of an eye
And net a proud new owner, owner before the paint was dry
Mmm-hmm-hmm, there's an art to it

I thought I took all the kicks and all the stones and the sticks
Till the gee and the rick and the three-card trick
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine

Make a wish
Float a ship now
The gee and the rick and the three-card trick
They're so fine
