lyrics

The King Of Spades (Dan Frechette)

There is a wild old gambler
He just turned 85.
He loves his tango dancing
martini’s keep him alive.
He leaves you with a melody
he sang back in the war
of the lovely little Linda,
the girl who left him sore.

(Chorus)
"Aller ou? Aller la!
Voulez vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?
Aller out? Aller la!"
"I am the king of spades, dear maid,
and you can call me sire!"

He regales you with a tale
how he led a brigade
and pillaged every village
with his trusty king of spades.
When he left the army
the main tale he would tell
was of a lovely little Linda,
a girl we all know well.

(chorus)

When he came back from Normandy
he searched for years in vain
for the lovely little Linda
who crowned him King Of Spades.
For 55 years he lived with his staid darling wife
and when she died he could finally tell the best lie of his life.

(chorus)
