[FATHER, spoken]
You got your royal flush, your straight flush, four-of-a-kind; full house, flush, straight, three-of-a-kind; two pair, one pair, and high card least of all. Which never hardly wins the pot. Not when there's more'n two playin'
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
What's the pot?
[FATHER, spoken]
We'll get there
(sung)
First you set the ante
Say a penny
Then before the deal's begun
We both ante up our pennies –
Not too many, just the one
Let's see what your cards are –
All you got's a
Pair of Queens and nothing more
Once you bet, you get to draw some –
That's what lots'a Queens are for
A penny?
That's a pair'a Queens
A nickel?
There's the bet I saw
I'll see you. Now fate intervenes –
Some say things happen by design
By demand, decree, or law
I say most things fall in line
By the luck of the draw
A nickel is in this case
What you should bet
It's a good bet, but I win
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Papa!
[FATHER, spoken]
Three-of-a-kind. Three-of-a-kind beats two pair. Now how much did I win from you?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Eleven cents!
[FATHER, spoken]
And 3.29 minus 11 cents is what?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Three dollars, 18 cents
[FATHER, spoken]
First step in teaching anything is to get your student's attention. Now, looky what ya got here:
(sung)
Six and seven
Then a nine and ten, no eight
What you do is ditch this four and
Pray to heaven for a straight
First you got to bet though
Maybe two bits
Which I raise you by a dime
See I'm forcing you to match me
By a few bits at a time
[YOUNG VI]
I'm winning?
[FATHER]
Well, a straight can win
[YOUNG VI]
But will it?
[FATHER]
There's a famous saw
Says you can't win unless you're in –
Some say things happen by design
By demand, decree, or law
I say most things fall in line
By the luck of the draw
[YOUNG VI]
Let's stop this game right now, I've
Put enough in
[FATHER]
I was bluffn', but I win
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Papa!
[FATHER, spoken]
Straight beats two pair. But you folded
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
I don't even know the hands!
[FATHER, spoken]
Violet!
(sung)
You got your royal flush, your straight flush, your four-of-a-kind
A full house, a flush, 'n' a straight, 'n' a three-of-a-kind
Two pair, one pair, and no pair at all
But high cards never won a pot, that I can recall
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
What's the pot?
[FATHER, spoken]
It's what you ante into
[FATHER & FLICK, spoken]
Now how much did I win from you?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Thirty-six cents!
[MONTY, spoken]
Gimme a break. This is s'posed to be a friendly game, not a killing.
[FATHER, spoken]
And 3.18 minus 36 cents is what?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Gimme the cards. I'm dealing this one!
[FATHER]
You don't know the game yet
[FLICK]
That's the way it's played, brother
[YOUNG VI]
I can play it
First I deal a card or two
[MONTY]
Flick's gonna win
[YOUNG VI]
Then I give you all my money
[MONTY]
Clean us out
Take all our change
[FATHER & FLICK]
Hate to say it, but it's true
[FATHER & MONTY]
Guess I'll open with a nickel
[YOUNG VI]
I will see that
And I'll raise you straight away
[VIOLET]
I'll raise you straight away
[FLICK]
You got some guts
[YOUNG VI]
Takin' candy from a baby
[FATHER & FLICK]
Guess I'll see ya
[MEN]
Who taught you to play?
[FATHER]
Two cards
[YOUNG VI]
I guess you go first?
[FATHER]
That's right, kid
[YOUNG VI]
At your service, "Pa"
Now my card – hope my luck's reversed
[YOUNG VI & VIOLET]
Some say things happen by design
By demand, decree, or law
I say most things fall in line
By the luck of the draw
[MONTY, spoken]
You got to bet to win
[YOUNG VI & VIOLET]
Dee dee dee dee – dime
[FATHER & MONTY, spoken]
See ya
[FLICK, spoken]
See, and raise
[MONTY, spoken]
Whose play is it?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
You watch out!
[FLICK, spoken]
Must be hers
[FATHER, spoken]
Whatcha get?
[ALL]
Some say things happen by design
By demand, decree, or law
I say most things fall in line
By the luck of the draw
[FATHER]
Call
[MONTY]
Kings
[FLICK]
Straight
[YOUNG VI]
Flush
[MONTY]
By the luck of the draw
[FATHER, spoken]
Baby, that is a
[FATHER & VIOLET, spoken]
Royal flush
[FLICK]
By the luck of the draw
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Is that good?
[VIOLET]
By the luck of the draw
[FATHER & MONTY, spoken]
I'll be damned
[ALL]
By the luck of the draw!
