6-3-8 (that's The Number To Play)

I woke up early this morning

Hand in hand [Incomprehensible]

The woman I love was at the head of my bed stand

The landlord wanted his rent

I went out on the corner

To see what I could do

I guess I get to play the races

I'm passin' it on to you

6-3-8 is the number today

6-3-8 is the number you better play

I don't believe in Gypsy's

Readin' out the palm of my hand

Don't believe in lady luck

She just wouldn't understand

I believe in Joe

Down by the Candy store

You would too, good people

If you know just what I know

6-3-8 is the number today

6-3-8 is the number you better play

Yeah, you know

Rusty is pretty fast

I just wanna prove you could

I do hope, you heard what I said

'Cause there ain't no okay do

There ain't no way for you to catch him

That is plain to see

But if you want to get your Rusty

You better listen to me

6-3-8 is the number to play

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

Come on, come on now

Come on, come on now

Come on now

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

6-3-8 is the number you better play

Come on, all y'all

Come on, don't walk me y'all

I said, come on y'all

I said, come on y'all

6-3-8 is the number you better play

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

I ain't lyin'

I ain't lyin'

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

6-3-8 is the number you better play

6-3-8 is the number you better play

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

6-3-8 is the number you better play
