"Now the only thing a gambler needs is A suitcase and a trunk. And the only time he'll be satisfied Is when he's on a drunk."

I think the final line in the above verse should read "When he's on a TRUMP". Makes more sense, and I'm pretty sure that's what Burdon sings. If the Lomax lyrics quoted earlier in the thread are correctly transcribed, then it's understandable where the mistake has arisen, but I think it's wrong.

@joe1094274 has the nerve to tell someone to pull their head out of their a$$ while believing the person is referring to politics when clearly the person was talking about a “trump” as in playing cards, as you would have been able to determine by the date of the OP, occurring long before Trump was president. So WHO actually needs to pull their head out of their @$$ now?! Sounds like it’s you, Joe. rolls eyes
