Lyrics

One, two, three, four (one, two, three, four)
Been the sunner night when the air is hot
Just boost some squatter to seize the spot
And get that girl that you haven't got
Just one quarter to lose a lot
Talking about a pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Well, in this town without pity, there is no chance
No shinning out from a cheap romance
'Cause you pay your money and you take your chance
Those downtown dudes pay in advance
Talking about a pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Chalky shoot the one, make yo' partner understand
Chalky shoot the two, we happy too and true
Chalky shoot the three, everything looking nice
Chalky shoot the four, we happy reach the score
Chalky shoot the five, jump around and keep alive
Chalky shoot the six, jumping up and doing tricks
Chalky shoot the seven, jumping up to go to heaven
Chalky shoot the eight, and it's much too late!
Here he comes and he's ready to shoot
With a .38 stuck in his boot
'Cause he's loaded with beer and he's loaded with booze
'Cause the stinkier he gets, the sharper, he shoots!
Talking about a pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Well, if you see this man, don't hesitate
Just make your break and don't be late
'Cause you're way too drunk and you're way too late
When all of your money goes down the eight, eight, eight, eight, eight
Talking about a pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark
Pool shark!
