He came witht the name Cincinnati
A kid with no ace in the hole
On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati
Had staked his heart and soul 

He played night and day like a demon 
And prayed for that one lucky day 
When the lush royal flush of his dreaming 
Is just a game away 

Beyond all the green felt shadows 
His own queen of hearts will wait 
But till he's king of the green felt shadows 
She'll wait, and wait, and wait 

For sure as the cards will be falling 
And chips in the pot, he'll remain 
For the book Lady Luck will be calling 
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid 
I mean the Cincinnati kid 
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid 
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid I
'm talking about the Cincinnati kid 
Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid 
Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid
