Card Playing Man Card Playing Man said "we best all stick together now for security." Said to the Dealer Man "flip the cards up on the table now for us all to see." Drink Pouring Man wondered if that meant the gin would now be free. And the Dancing Girl in the back Said "I think there's somehting to that. "I can tell by the way all the John's Lear The end is near" Card Playing Man took off his guns and laid down his gold. Said "Gather round, there's a story left waiting to be told." The Drink Pouring Man snuck off a revolver, later to be sold. And the Card Man told the one about the Dove That starts with hate and ends with love. And the playes all held back their tears Because the end is near. Back wind bust open the door and came rushing in. Knocked over the wine and the whiskey, the tequila and even the gin. Drink Pouring Man said "to waste such fine, fine spirits surely must be a sin. The Dancing Girl grabbed a rag Mopped up all the booze to be had. Have a squeeze now with your beer. The end is near. Card Playing Man saw everyone was now high as a kite. He said "I confess that's a mighty fine way to face the dark coming night." The Drink Pouring Man loaded that revolver, said "I'm gonna stand and fight." The Dancing Girl took off all her clothes. Said "Tonight, anything goes." And the Card Playing Man said "Thank God you're here, Because the end is near...." The end is near.
