Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot
Your in the Game, you've got no Choice
You can't Complain, you've got no Voice
Take a Turn, roll the Dice
Sometimes Nasty, Sometimes Nice
Now it's a Nightmare, now a Dream
Now it's Bitter, now it's Sweet
Win or lose, you're in to Stay
Prayin' for sixes until your dying Day
Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot
I guess he figured, this is Cute
Lets throw in some forbidden Fruit
That'll get em, it's a Beaut
Up the Ladder, down the Chute
Well you could Run, and you could Hide
Punch all your Fun, the rest you Ride
Watch the Players, bendin' Rules
They sail along, in a ship of Fools
You get Lucky, or miss the Throw
Easy Come, or easy Go
Take your Partners, they're playin' your Song
Just make it up as you go Along
Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game Man
Ahh, Shoot
Help me baby when the ladders Steep
I'll be your eyes when the chutes are Deep
Lets help each other win or lose in Style
Lets help each other make it all Worthwhile
Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot
I guess he figured, this is Cute
I think I'll throw in some forbidden Fruit
That'll get 'em, it's a Beaut
Up the Ladder, down the Chute
Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot
