Sometimes a song stops you in your tracks
Jan. 13th, 2009 12:50 amWhere do we turn? Where do we go?
Riddle me this!
Who's the master mind of the puppet show?
Riddle me this!
Whom do we pay, who's the croupier?
Riddle me this!
Who's the one that sweeps all the stakes away?
Riddle me this!
Love a little, sing a little,
Play the game and win a little,
Only to lose.
Listen to the money jingle,
Isn't it a funny jingle,
Ending with blues!
What is the song? What is the rhyme?
Riddle me this!
Are there any odds on the wheel of time?
Riddle me this!
Written in 1932, during the depths of the Great Depression.
By the guy who wrote Over the Rainbow (Yip Harburg) - probably never heard of that tune, no-one has ;-)
