They occupied our country

We were almost overrun

I knew if I did not react

They'd kill us, ev'ryone

I promised to my mother

She meant so much to me

That for ev'ry single tear she shed

There'd be a victory

Who's holding aces?

And who's gonna fold and

Who's got a secret?

And who's feeling bold?

It's a winning combination

If a lady understands...that the

King and the Queen of Hearts

Could be a perfect hand

So know what you are holding

But be prepared to bluff

There are many ways to win a game

And skill is not enough

In the Senate or in business

But most of all in love

You ladies all know how things work

You know how to get things done

And if you open the door for a lady

You open a door for yourself

And a stranger's only someone

Who you have yet to help

Who's holding aces?

And who's gonna fold and

Who's got a secret?

And who's feeling bold?

It's a winning combination

If a lady understands...that the

King and the Queen of Hearts

Could be a perfect hand
