LYRICS--Bridge Blues: Stay or Go


I’m giving up bridge – tonight’s my last night

It’s amen to Stayman, I give up the fight.

The insults and muddles are giving me troubles.

I can’t sleep at night for thinking of doubles.


My cards are all rotten

And I have forgotten

Who has played what and what is trump

Sitting for hours with a sore rump


So it’s all over tonight – I’m off to the backwoods

I’m bidding goodbye to Gerber and Blackwoods.

I can’t stand the hassle,

I can’t stand the pain

I’m getting those bad cards again and again.


Bridge makes me cheer, then tear out my hair,

One moment I’m soaring, the next in despair.

I swear I should quit — or give it one more go...

Tell me, Bridge friends, should I stay or should I go?


Another bad night

Nothing’s gone right.

My partner’s a dope

I’m losing all hope.

When opponents say “double”

I know we’re in trouble.


My points are not high,

and I’m wondering why

She kept on bidding right up to the sky.

We’re in seven spades,

I doubt she makes

When surprise, surprise,

all tricks she takes


The defenders feel sick

My partner’s really slick.

All of a sudden,

gone is my sorrow

And yes, I’ll play again tomorrow!


Bridge makes me cheer, then tear out my hair,

One moment I’m soaring, the next in despair.

I swear I should quit — or give it one more go...

Tell me, Bridge friends, should I stay or should I go?
