The Lyrics
Five poor cards dealt to you;
Highest is 9.
Rounding out: 7, 5, 3, 2,
They're unaligned,
Suits are unaligned.
I know that your hand's sh*t
So you lay three down. . .
Draw three cards, more crappy!
But you grin and try to bluff this round.
Five poor cards dealt to you;
Highest is 9,
Just 9.
I call you,
I call you,
I call you,
I call you, show 'em now!
You've got a pair
Of measly damn 3s
That blows, and how!
You're sneering.
Five poor cards dealt to you.
Your money's mine.
[fade to sound of chips being raked in]
Highest is 9.
Rounding out: 7, 5, 3, 2,
They're unaligned,
Suits are unaligned.
I know that your hand's sh*t
So you lay three down. . .
Draw three cards, more crappy!
But you grin and try to bluff this round.
Five poor cards dealt to you;
Highest is 9,
Just 9.
I call you,
I call you,
I call you,
I call you, show 'em now!
You've got a pair
Of measly damn 3s
That blows, and how!
You're sneering.
Five poor cards dealt to you.
Your money's mine.
[fade to sound of chips being raked in]

I have to give you credit for coming up with so many variations of this song, something that parody writers should appreciate.
Voted this earlier today, didn't give you a lousy hand either. Three 5s beats a low ace anytime.
I agree with Royce. 555
