I went down to a little crap game,
Lord, that was against my will
I lost every penny that I had in my pocket but a greenback dollar bill
I turned my head, shook my shoulders, thinking I was way behind
But just as they jumped in the kitchen door, Lord, I got mine.

I got mine
I got mine
Hangin' 'round here trying to get some good eats all the time
Ever since then I've been living high
I've been living off of chicken and wine
I belong to the knockdown society
But I got mine

Now, when the turkey was brought in
All the people all began to grin
Start to think about the good times we all would have, I couldn't say exactly when
So the man grabbed the turkey right by the neck, and I swung on behind
He might've thought he'd have the whole bottle and gone
But I got mine

I got mine
I got mine
Hangin' 'round here trying to get some good eats all the time
Ever since then I've been living high
I've been living off of chicken and wine
I belong to the knockdown society
But I got mine

Well, I went down to a little crap game
Some other police might say
That man looked at me, wouldn't crack a smile, I couldn't get that fella to allay
So I throwed the dice out on the floor, and he rolled out on 9
And just as the police jumped in the back door
Lord, I got mine

I got mine
I got mine
Hangin' 'round here trying to get some good eats all the time
Ever since then I've been living high
I've been living off of chicken and wine
I belong to the knockdown society
But I got mine

I belong to the knockdown society
But I got mine
