Here Comes Trouble Again

Here Comes Trouble Again

Sneakin' thru the front door
Sits down next to me
She ordered up a double
A Tanqueroy mar-"T"
She slammed it back in one shot
Said martinis make her sneeze
She slid up nice 'n cozy
And she whispered, daddy please
Now I got a wife and family
They gonna wonder where I been
With a cocktail and a short skirt
Here comes trouble again

Dice game in the back room
Rent check in my hand
Looking for a seven
The dice got better plans
I like to play the ponies
I'm at the track all week
It's hard to handicap 'em
When you're on a losing streak
Now my wife told me Friday
She'd like to see my gamblin' end
Getting' hard to be a good man
Here comes trouble again

Oo, here comes trouble again
Oo, just like he was my friend
Here comes trouble again

The government called me Monday
Said something about some scratch
I tried to call them Tuesday
I said I ain't got the cash
They called the house on Wednesday, right?
Said if he don't have it soon
They're gonna make a reservation
For a six-by-eight foot room
Now I got a wife and family
Please don't take me to the pen
Pullin' 2 to 5 in Clinton
Here comes trouble again

Oo, here comes trouble again
Oo, smiling like he was my friend
Here comes trouble again
