"In for a penny, in for a pound,"
That's what they say when the cards go 'round.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
What will they use when there's no more money in town?

Will they say "in for a match, in for a book"
When everything that can be taken's been took?
Will they strike their proceeds to light their cigarettes?
What will they use when there's no money for bets?

"In for a penny, in for a pound,"
That's what they say when the cards go 'round.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
What will they use when there's no more money in town?

Some must be winners and some must lose,
Just as some have no choice and others must choose.
Some have luck, and others have none,
Some have ended while others have just begun.

"In for a penny, in for a pound,"
That's what they say when the cards go 'round.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
What will they use when there's no more money in town?
