Holmes, Rupert - Blackjack Lyrics






I'm a sailor of fate and fortune
And I go with the cards.
If I turn up a Queen of Hearts,
I send regards.
You're the lady that luck has sent me,
And I've finally won.
Took one look at my hand
And knew the game was done
Before it had begun.

Blackjack. Don't you dare push me.
Blackjack. Stay with this hand.
Your touch makes me a winner.
Blackjack. Let the deal stand.

I'm an Ace on the clean green velvet;
You're the Queen of the deck.
There's no way we can lose.
Although they'll check and double-check.
So double down on the love you send me
And double up on the chips,
'Cause I know there's a fortune
In your fingertips,
Your face, your eyes, your lips.

Blackjack. Don't you dare push me.
Blackjack. Stay with this hand.
Your touch makes me a winner.
Blackjack. Let the deal stand.

    I remember watching him perform this on the Mike Douglas Show.

    Benjamin Wright This! This! This!

    I saw the same broadcast. I was 9 or 10. My brain put the experience into permanent long term memory. For whatever reason! Friends would marvel at my recitation of the lyrics 25+ years later. Fun stuff!

    IceTre I was born in ‘68 so I was probably a couple years older than you were at the time it was broadcast. But like you, I have always had that memory of Rupert dressed in a red suit singing this on TV permanently filed away in my brain. You gotta love the internet for being able to find the random shit from your childhood stuck in your head, especially when no one else knows what the fuck you’re taking about.
