[Intro]
(Oh, well, well)
What is that smell
Getting hard to tell
(Just think… of all the stink)

[Verse 1]
Did you get sprayed by a skunk
The smell is something fierce
Poked the wrong hole while drunk
Follow the nose to the source

[Chorus]
(Oh, well, well)
What is that smell
Getting hard to tell
(To think… of all the stink)

[Bridge]
Once one knows
(Holding the nose)
Try to get away
(To a better day)

[Verse 2]
Did you a skunk spray on you
Must be something you can do
Cause that smell of skunk
Got us in a funk

[Chorus]
(Oh, well, well)
What is that smell
Getting hard to tell
(To think… of all the stink)

[Bridge]
Once one knows
(Holding the nose)
Try to get away
(To a better day)

[Chorus]
(Oh, well, well)
What is that smell
Getting hard to tell
(To think… of all the stink)

[Outro]
Once one knows
(Holding the nose)
Try to get away
(To a better day)

[Intro]
What did you say?
(You have the crabs)
I can’t hear you…
(I’m playing craps)

[Verse 1]
A twist of the tongue
(Words become wrung)
When all’s said and done
(I’m left wonderin’)

[Bridge]
What did you say?
(You have the crabs)
I can’t hear you…
(I’m playing craps)

[Chorus]
The game of Hazard
(Roll, baby, roll)
No logic, haphazard
(Heads will roll)
Roll, baby, roll
(This ain’t a drill)

[Verse 2]
Both sides of the mouth
(It’s spewing out)
All’s lost, none won
(… still left wonderin’)

[Bridge]
What did you say?
(Look like a toad)
I can’t hear you…
(Too heavy a load)

[Chorus]
The game of Hazard
(Roll, baby, roll)
No logic, haphazard
(Heads will roll)
Roll, baby, roll
(This ain’t a drill)

[Outro]
(Roll, baby, roll)
Roll, baby… until…
(This ain’t a drill)

ABOUT THE SONG
The name “craps” is believed to have evolved from the English term “crabs,” which referred to the numbers two and three—instant losing rolls in the game of Hazard, a predecessor to craps. As the game gained popularity in French-speaking regions, “crabs” was phonetically adapted to “crabes” or “craps.” Another theory suggests that “craps” derives from the French word “crapaud,” meaning “toad,” describing the crouched posture of players in early street versions of the game. Over time, these linguistic influences merged, leading to the modern name “craps.”

ABOUT THE SONG
In the game of craps, the numbers 7 and 11 are considered favorable during the come-out roll—the initial roll of a new betting round. Rolling a 7 or 11 at this stage, known as a “natural,” results in an immediate win for players who have placed Pass Line bets. This association with instant success contributes to the perception of 7 and 11 as “lucky” numbers in the context of craps.

Beyond the game, the number 7 has been regarded as auspicious in various cultures and traditions. Its frequent occurrence in nature and human culture—such as seven days in a week, seven continents, and seven colors in a rainbow—has imbued it with a sense of completeness and special significance.

So, the “lucky” status of 7 and 11 in craps stems from their advantageous outcomes during the come-out roll, while the broader cultural reverence for the number 7 enhances its perception as a fortuitous figure.

Engaging in a specific behavior or action before a sporting event or public performance, with the belief that it will influence the outcome, is commonly referred to as a ritual or superstition. In sports, such rituals can range from wearing particular clothing items to performing unique routines, all intended to boost confidence and performance. For example, Tiger Woods is known for wearing a red shirt on tournament Sundays, a practice he attributes to his mother’s belief in astrology.

These rituals serve as psychological tools, providing athletes and performers with a sense of control and routine in high-pressure situations. By adhering to these personal traditions, individuals can reduce anxiety and enhance focus, thereby positively impacting their performance.

Despite experiencing significant stage fright, Janis Joplin would perform rituals before going on stage to help manage her anxiety. For instance, she would pin a piece of her ‘special lace’ next to her heart.

[Intro]
The beast has
(Snake eyes)
And, it is
No surprise

[Verse 1]
Do you want to place a bet
One without high regret
Rolling pairs of ones
Leads to bad outcomes

[Bridge]
The beast has
(Snake eyes)
And, it is
(No surprise)

[Chorus]
Aces change faces
(Chaces snake eyes)
One’s won is lost
(Snake eyes cost)

[Verse 2]
Go on place a wager
Will the loss be major
When it adds to two
Equals big F U

[Bridge]
The beast has

Aces change faces

[Outro]
The beast has

ABOUT THE SONG
In craps, the term “snake eyes” refers to rolling a pair of ones, resulting in a total of two. This outcome is generally unfavorable for players. On the come-out roll, rolling snake eyes results in an immediate loss for Pass Line bets. While there is a specific proposition bet that wagers on rolling a two, known as “Aces” or “snake eyes,” it carries high risk due to its low probability of occurring. Therefore, in most situations, rolling snake eyes is considered disadvantageous in the game of craps.

ABOUT THE SONG
In the context of dice games, the term “skunked” is associated with a vintage dice game called “Skunk,” introduced by Schaper Manufacturing in the 1950s. In this game, players roll dice to accumulate points, but rolling a “skunk” (represented by a skunk image on one side of the die) results in losing all points for that turn. The term “skunked” has since been used colloquially to describe a situation where a player loses all their points in a single turn due to an unfavorable roll.

In the game of craps, rolling a “craps” (2, 3, or 12) on the come-out roll results in an immediate loss for Pass Line bets. Therefore, players generally aim to avoid rolling these numbers during the come-out roll. However, once a point is established, rolling a 2, 3, or 12 has different implications depending on the specific bets placed.
