about

Truly this song came to Stephen...out of nowhere...ex Nihilo...if that's possible. Like a mix of stuff from Sat. morning cartoon shows to watching Chico and the Man, and Bill Cosby and definitely listening to Santana, as well as Jose Feliciano!

Featuring guitar wizard Doug Schoenbeck of Illinois, who would have made Carlos' group instantly hire him...if they only knew! Maybe they will.

If you understand elderly people, love them a lot but understand them, and you're not the "Saul Goodman" type of Bingo master, then you'll love this song. Enjoy!

lyrics

(chorus):
Bingo…is what they play on Wednesday night
Ahh…those numbers goin ‘round in a cage
They put ‘em on the spot just right
Some play for money
Some play for love
Some play for SPITE!
If it was up to them
They’d be up playin' Bingo all night!

They play multiple cards and they’re sharper than they look
but when the buzzer rings for bedtime
they know they’re on the hook
They give that almost full card… one last forlorn look
and say goodnight
next time I get you sucka!

Aunt Sotchi’s got her pocket full of custom chips
Don’t take her special table place or you might get some lip
She raises both hands when she wins because she can’t yell
Last week she won a coupon good for…Taco Bell?

Their gettin a little hazy in the gravy
They know it and on occasion they may go…and
push the wrong elevator button to the basement
or they may call up their cousin who died years ago

CH

Charlie Horseshoe hits a jackpot with his Wiggidy Wig
Shuffleboard cannot compare to this Giggidy Gig
He sends his winnings to his daughter in a brown envelope
She leaves it again on Sunday in the pocket of his coat

They have some foggin in the noggin
Could give their money to a kind stranger
But they feel nice when they get it back
From the hands of a local ranger

When it comes to playin Bingo
You can bet they got their numbers right!
If it was up to them
They’d be up playin Bingo all night!

big music break - go Doug go

These cats’r gettin serious there might be a fight
But then the bell rings once again this Wednesday night
They don wanna miss dessert
Or have to put out the light
If it was up to them
Yeah if it was up to them
If it was up to Charlie and Sotchi and the rest…
There’d be Bingo all niiiiiiiiiiight!

B-fifteen

G-forty three

O O Oh fifty niiiiiiiiiine!
