If you didn't come here via the previous page (i.e., through a Webring or a search), you might want to know what my song drawings are all about; read about them here.
No Cheap Thrill
I lacked the time to play this drawing up as I would have liked to, but I think you get the idea. They're people who are part of their own game. The woman in the center obviously has the advantage, because she has the riches and everyone else is after them, and possibly her. The song's lyrics hint that the woman has a good idea of what everyone else in the game has going for them, but also that she is not necessarily going to win easily. She is pretty sure that everyone else will end up having to pay dearly for the chance to play with her, though.
No Cheap Thrill--lyrics
Ante up. And don't be shy.
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
What's underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
Lamebrain Pete wants to Spit in the Sea.
He's got a cool hand but it isn't for me.
Butcher Boy thinks he'll be splitting the pot.
But I've seen what he's got and it isn't a lot.
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
I limit the straddles, and you shuffle and deal.
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
Is the lucky beginner just a five-card stud?
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
I'll match you, I'll bet you, I'll play you,
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
