The cards, the cards, the cards will tell.
The past, the present, and the future as well.
The cards... the cards... Just take three.
Take a little trip into your future with me
Now you, young man, are from across the sea
You come from two long lines of royalty
(I'm a royal myself, on my mother's side.)
Your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low
You need to marry a lil' hunny whose daddy got dough!
Mom and dad cut you off, huh playboy?
Now y'all gotta get hitched, but hitchin' ties you down.
You just wanna be free.
Hop from place to place.
But freedom... takes green!
It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need
And when I looked into your future
It's the green that I see!
On you little man, I don't want to waste much time
You've been pushed around all your life
You've been pushed around by your mother and your sister and your brother.
And if you was married, you'd be pushed around by your wife
But in your future, for you I see
Is exactly the man you always wanted to be!
The past, the present, and the future as well.
The cards... the cards... Just take three.

Come on boys.
Won't you shake the poor sinner's hand?

Hush.
