Lyrics

Every day about sunset There comes the king of roulette He'll cash his great big stacks Every time that he bets But last night feeling extra fine He put the whole mess down on red It came up double-zero His luck has just run dead Ain't no sea can't be crossed Ain't no ship that can't be lost Ain't no horse that can't be rode Ain't a man that can't be thrown Well, Elvin said to Melvin "you never gonna get that girl She's too high class; she's beautiful; She's a woman of the world," Then Melvin learned to dance And that gal she gave him a wink Then Melvin turned to Elvin He said: "i tell you this is what i think:" There's no sea can't be crossed Ain't no ship that can't be lost Ain't no horse that can't be rode Ain't no man that can't be thrown Oohh Ohh Ohh Oooh... I'll tell you all about Brenda That girl, she could really paint But all the critics told her "where it is, you ain't" She heard her work to the people And it was like they couldn't even see 'em But things can change and you know one day They'll be in a big museum There's no sea can't be crossed Ain't no ship that can't be lost Ain't no horse that can't be rode Ain't no man that can't be thrown You know a man can't live on bread alone He's gotta have something to spin it on I heard about a group with too much cash They came up with something really rash They had the money; they had the power To build themselves a great big tower You know, they never got to heaven You know something, it went wrong But check it out you can still hear em Hear em babble on Babble on Babble babble babble ON There's no sea can't be crossed Ain't no ship that can't be lost Ain't no horse that can't be rode Ain't no man that can't be thrown
