 Lick
 
 I blew my wad playing seven-card-stud
 I was  playing for money, they  was playing  for blood
 On the way  back home  the
 
 big winner got mugged Now he's just another loser like me
 Lick
 See that  kid sitting back  at the bar
 He's picking  up a storm on  a Martin  guitar
 That poor fool  thinks he's  gonna be a star
He's  just another loser like  me
 Losers,  losers
 Some are raggers,  some  are bluesers
Makin'  disco  sounds  in a  HoJo lounge
With  a bunch  of other losers  like me
 Love has busted up this cat for sure
 He's crying like a baby at his baby's door
 That poor fool don't know what he's crying for
 He's just another loser like me
 Losers, losers
 Can't say no to cruisers
 When she says "When he'll be back again?"
 He's just another loser like me
 There's a hobo up in heaven on the golden street
 He'll panhandle every angel that he'll meet
 He'd hock his harp for some Sneaky Pete
 He's just another loser like me
 Losers, losers
 Some are dopers, some are boozers
 All the muscatel is down in hell
 He's just another loser like me
 When God appeared to Saint John Wayne
 He told him "Duke, I'm a-coming again
 Life is just a wagon train
 I'm glad you're not a loser like me"
 Losers, losers
 Ten gallon bruisers
 From Genghis Khan to the Fuller Brush Man
 They're just a bunch of losers like me
