It takes place in a Motel 6
just out side of Cincinnati.
There's a table and a bottle
but they light a cigarette first.
Pete Rose looks terrible,
have you been gambling on games?
He says, let's get to the point, Pete,
did you ever bet on your own team?
Not sure what Pete's gonna reply,
but I think I'll have a telephone ring
It's gonna be shoeless Joe Jackson,
if you don't throw him out,
havin' a beggin' steal and rob
He tries to grab the receiver,
he says, I could tell you
It's my sweet Martha and I open up
and she crawls in on the floor
Says, put down your paper and pen,
boy, I can wait another day
She grabs my leg, says, all I got to say is
Are you gambling with my love?
Are you saying you don't care?
Are you gambling with my love
while you sit there in that chair?
I said, girl, I got backers
I got money people waitin' for this stuff
I got a theater off Broadway
Convinced one act ain't gonna be enough
I'm gettin' inside Pete Rose's head
I said, he can taste the Hall of Fame
don't you want to taste me instead?
I said, girl, do you understand
a man could still feel emptiness?
And I'd repeat, Commissioner,
what you got in your hand?
He said, can't you guess?
He said, if I was a betting man,
I'd say you were trying to bluff
Commissioner said, too bad, Jane,
it's good playing the odds,
So she said, what does Mrs. Rose
have to say about all this?
I haven't thought about Mrs. Rose
And I leaned over and gave Martha a kiss
She said you got 2 guys in a hotel room
No other characters or special effects
I said, there's plenty of drama there
She says, three acts, no sex
She says, there is a Mrs. Rose though
Yeah, I said, well, yeah, there is, I suppose
Does she wear support holes?
I said, baby, you're wearing
Well, he said, we'd turn down the bed
She looks at me, she rolls her eyes
She grabs my pen and says
Are you gamblin' with my love?
Are you sayin' you don't care?
Are you gamblin' with my love?
Are you sittin' there in that chair?
He rolls to your mighty old town
Mrs. Rose bursts in and says
carry your children in my womb
Judge Knight, let's give you judge
Are you gonna gamble with my love?
Are you saying you don't care?
Are you gambling with my love?
While you sit there in that chair
Are you gamblin' with my love?
Are you sayin' you don't care?
Are you gamblin' with my love?
While you sit there in that chair
Oh, oh, you're gonna get in my arms
Ooh, yeah, where is my love?
