"You Cannot Win If You Do Not Play" lyrics

I was sittin' by the road
My head in a cloud
Wishin' that I had some wings
A-wishin' for a scooter
A-wishin' for a train
Or any kinda movin' thing

Well, I looked at the trees
Looked at the sky
Seen it was a lovely day
I looked up the road
Looked at my feet
An' picked it up
And walked away

You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play

Well, went to the fair
Lookin' for fun
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
Gotta get a bear some way"
I heard a loud voice
Said a few words
It said, "You gotta take a chance an' play, boy"

You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play

Pretty, young Pam
You're bringin' me down, baby
All ya do is make me blue
I'm under the trees
Waiting alone now
Try'na sing a song for 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 try'na tell ya babe, it ain't okay

You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play
You cannot win
If you do not play...
