Kalooki Fever (Catch it and see)

This song is dedicated to the Os Man’s latest favorite haunt, Rummy Royal, and the particular brand of the game they play over there called “Kalooki 51.”

Kalooki Fever
(To the tune of “Hot Blooded” by Foreigner.)

Kalooki Fever, catch it and see
I’m getting beaten by 103
Come on baby, will you deal me a hand?
It’s Kalooki, Kalooki

I wish I could read your mind, to know what you have in mind
Honey, you oughta throw
The four or the five, let me ditch this nine
I wanna know where that joker might get to go

Now it’s up to me – I need enough to make this run
So I’ll hold my meld, whoever knew rummy was this much fun?

I’ve got that Kalooki Fever, catch it and see
I’m getting beaten by 103
Come on baby, will you deal me a hand?
I want Kalooki, Kalooki

(Guitar solo)

If I gamble right, maybe I can play all night
Or even play some hands for free
But you’ve got to give me a card, come on man, some kind of card
I’m telling ya, I’m hot mama? Can’t wait for the tourney…

Kalooki Fever, catch it and see
I’m getting beaten by 103
Come on baby, will you deal me a hand?
More Kalooki, more Kalooki…

(Fade on vaguely promotional bit:

Kalooki, every night
Kalooki, just play your cards right
Kalooki, Tuesdays starting at 10
Kalooki, that’s when Happy Hour begins
Kalooki, win a $5 freeroll
Kalooki, it costs nothing at all
Kalooki, I’m a little bit high
Kalooki, maybe I’ll give 40 a try…
