matumbi - bookie to the bank lyrics

[verse 1]
from the bookie to the bank
from the bank to the bookie (to the bookie)
tell me, how can that be the right way?
man, you hear what i say? (from the bank to the bookie)
i say, you tryin’ so hard to catch seven and eleven
seven and eleven
but somehow it just won’t come up
well, you better give it up (give it up)

[chorus]
no dash ‘way your money on trojan nor tricky horse (i’m saying)
i bet you anything there was something kind of funny
something funny
[verse 2]
every day you pick up newspaper and read from
well, after a storm there’s a calm
and bookie have you in him palm
bookie have you in him palm
i say, no try it, my brother, no try it, my sister (don’t try it)
don’t play the bookie machine
don’t play the bookie machine
will dry you out real clean
don’t play the bookie machine

[bridge]
don’t play it, don’t play it
don’t pay it, don’t play it

[verse 3]
every day you pick up newspaper and read from
well, after a storm there’s a calm
and bookie have you in him palm
bookie have you in him palm
i say, no try it, my brother, no try it, my sister (don’t try it)
don’t play the bookie machine (don’t try it)
don’t play the bookie machine
no, no, will dry you out real clean (will dry you out real clean)

[outro]
look how you dash ‘way your money (hard earn money)
your hard earn money (hard earn money)
you must feel funny (must feel funny)
so give it up now! (give it up)
say, you better give it up (give it up, give it up, give it up)
you dash ‘way your money (hard earn money)
your hard earn money (give it up)
so, give it up now! (give it up, give it up, give it up)
got to give it up now
