I’ve been goin’ around puttin’ money down on teams I see
Makin’ payments placing bets on sporting teams
You know I’m gonna lose some money
You know I’m gonna lose some money

My team will lose, and all my dough won’t stay with me
Countless debts, and countless bets to my bookies
You know I’m gonna lose some money
You know I’m gonna lose some money
Guys I.O.U.

I want to shout, he gets knocked out and off I go
Waging how I’m gonna pay, I just don’t know
I hope the Mets can win a playoff
Or else they’re gonna shoot my toes off

I.O.U.
I.O.U.
I.O.U.
I.O.U.
I.O.U.
I.O.U.
I.O.U.

I’ve been goin’ around finally I’m found, and now I’m dead.
