Bingo Fever

You're just like a stranger

When you're in a bingo trance

The kids don't even

Know you anymore

With your bingo bag and dauber

And your lucky bingo pants

You look like a soldier

Going off to war

2. you beg the kids for money

But they hide their piggy banks

You're just like my uncle

When he needs a drink

You're mumbling and you're sweating

And you got the bingo shakes

I think its time to

See a bingo shrink

You used to go to bingo

Only once a week

Then you got the fever

Now you're a bingo freak

Chorus:

You play bingo up in lanse

With your mother and your aunts

And you tell me that its

Only recreation

But you always get so hot

When you have to split the pot

They have to kick you

Off the reservation

3. i remember on our honeymoon

I didn't sleep at all

Cause you kept yelling

Bingo in your sleep

You dragged me out of bed

And threw me up against the wall

And said "you better call

1-17 you creep"

4. then there was that other time

Down at the legion hall

Remember that ole' lady

That you clobbered

You were playing 50 cards

And she was playing one

She yelled bingo and you

Stabbed her with your dauber

You used to go to bingo

To play it just for kicks

Now you're a bingo junkie

And you need a bingo fix

(repeat chorus)

5. now here you are just sitting

In this marquette county jail

For beating up that

Poor old bingo caller

You said that gummer rigged the game

He wouldn't let you win

He pretended that he

Didn't hear you holler

You tried to kick the habit

But it drove you up the wall

So you snuck out with your bingo buddies

Up to the bingo hall

(repeat chorus)
