I woke up in the gutter this morning,
Stark naked with a heavy head, what a night
Not a penny in my pocket and no more money in the bank
Hello people, I'm broke, I'm totally skint
Lost everything, I've lost it all,
But now it's over, I've sworn to myself

Never again shell game, never again to the arcade
Never again shell game, Oh, all the money is gone
No more Las Vegas and no more Quartet
Never again shell game or Russian Roulette

It all started quite harmlessly with Monopoly
I was always the richest because I always won
Later I played the lottery, of course with a system
I often had three correct numbers, it was a good life
Often I sat at the roulette table, night after night,
But the damn gambling is now my downfall

Never again shell game, never again to the arcade
Never again shell game, Oh, all the money is gone
Spent everything, now we're in a pickle
Never again shell game and definitely no Skat

Oh what a pity, oh, what a pity
Only dry bread and no chocolate
Oh what a pity, eternally a pity
Only dry bread and no more chocolate
Life is not fair

Never again shell game, never again to the arcade
Never again shell game, Oh, all the money is gone
No more Malefiz and no more Catch the Hat
Never again shell game then everything will be fine again
