| PARABLE | |
| Here’s the story of a poor loser | |
| From the wrong side of the street | |
| Yes, he’s a born loser | |
| It’s the world he’s trying to beat | |
| And though he once tried to cross over | |
| All he met there was defeat | |
| And it’s the story of a bid winner | |
| Who’ll rub you out and rub it in | |
| Yes, and he won’t let you forget it | |
| He’s gonna get right under your skin | |
| I bet you anything he don’t come out | |
| The same door he went in | |
| Some people say it’s no win or lose | |
| But how you play the game | |
| It don’t apply when stakes are high | |
| And when these tow are playing | |
| So let’s go back now to this poor loser | |
| He’s lying on his bed | |
| He’s gotta big chip on his shoulder | |
| He’s got a light bulb over his head | |
| And he thinks: what if that bad winner | |
| Were to have a little accident |
