| Song | You Cannot Win If You Do Not Play |
| Artist | Steve Forbert |
| Album | Alive on Arrival |
| 作曲 : Forbert | |
| I was sittin' by the road, my head in a cloud, wishin' that | |
| I had some wings; wishin' for a scooter, a-wishin' for a train or any kin' o' movin' thing. | |
| Well, I looked at the trees, | |
| I looked at the sky, | |
| I seen it was a lovely day. | |
| I looked up the road, | |
| I looked at my feet, | |
| I picked it up an' walked away. | |
| Well, you cannot win if you do not play. | |
| No, you cannot win if you do not play. | |
| Well, I went to the fair, lookin' for fun. | |
| I think the whole world was there. | |
| I saw a fat man, | |
| I saw a thin man. | |
| I saw a little teddy bear. | |
| Well, I said to myself, "I know what I want. I gotta get a bear some way." | |
| I heard a loud voice. | |
| It said a few words. | |
| It said, "You gotta take a chance an' pay." | |
| Well, you cannot win if you do not play | |
| No, you cannot win if you do not play | |
| Pretty young | |
| Pam, you're bringin' me down baby, | |
| All ya do is make-uh me blue. | |
| I'm under the trees, | |
| I'm waiting alone, | |
| Tryna sing a song to you. | |
| Well, the night is so clear, the moon is so bright; you're wastin' it all away. | |
| You're up on a hill, | |
| I'm down here below. | |
| I'm tryna tell ya babe, it aint okay. | |
| Well, you cannot win if you do not play. | |
| You cannot win if you do not play. |
