Covering a Bet

Where is the lance that pierced my heart
The shaft from cupid's bow
Are you still sleeping at afternoon's start?
I thought you wanted a show

The twenty you called counterfeit
Is real as twenties come
And Panda could not match my wit
He's back from whence he come

So break a leg and exit right
Long live the captain's mate
And dry your sails in tropic light
No regret to meet your fate

Take to the new bed in the Cal
Romp on it with joy and lust
Need stainless for the new lamp, gal
Lest salt air cause it rust

On Park Place or Kaanapali
Have a Planters rum and tonic
I'll collect from my utility
And drink a shake at Sonic

Jump the king and raise you two
And though you're not my lover
I'll always take the bet with you
I'll never fail to cover
