Miss Kitty and the Blackjack Man

Verse 1

I deal blackjack on the graveyard shift

Miss Kitty sings across the hall

She wears a red dress cut too low

And every high roller starts to fall

Pre-Chorus

First whale tipped his glass

First whale lost his head

She walked him to the bar

I lifted his wallet instead

Chorus

Nobody knows how we do it

Nobody sees us go

Miss Kitty hums a little tune

And I slip out the door

Nobody knows how we do it

Nobody counts the cost

Two hands working separate rooms

One trick and we're gone

Verse 2

Second time felt like breathing

She smiled I moved my feet

He never checked his pocket

He never left his seat

Pre-Chorus

Smooth as a saxophone

Smooth as a Saturday night

We split the take in the parking lot

Underneath the lot light

Chorus

Nobody knows how we do it

Nobody sees us go

Miss Kitty hums a little tune

And I slip out the door

Nobody knows how we do it

Nobody counts the cost

Two hands working separate rooms

One trick and we're gone

Bridge

Third time the man was sober

Third time the man was armed

She pulled me from the table

She meant to keep me warm

A shot rang out across the lounge

A shot rang out too true

She fell against the piano

And I ran out on you

Outro

Somebody asked me later

Somebody asked me kid

What happened to Miss Kitty

What happened to her did

Don't forget what curiosity did

I said it might've killed the kitty

But it'll never get the kid

It'll never get the kid

(Don't forget what curiosity did)

It'll never get the kid

(It'll never get the kid)
