Bridge Blues: Stay or Go was written and performed by Nirup Malkani. You can find more of their songs on Spotify.LYRICS--Bridge Blues: Stay or GoI’m giving up bridge – tonight’s my last nightIt’s amen to Stayman, I give up the fight.The insults and muddles are giving me troubles.I can’t sleep at night for thinking of doubles.My cards are all rottenAnd I have forgottenWho has played what and what is trumpSitting for hours with a sore rumpSo it’s all over tonight – I’m off to the backwoodsI’m bidding goodbye to Gerber and Blackwoods.I can’t stand the hassle,I can’t stand the painI’m getting those bad cards again and again.Bridge makes me cheer, then tear out my hair,One moment I’m soaring, the next in despair.I swear I should quit — or give it one more go...Tell me, Bridge friends, should I stay or should I go?Another bad nightNothing’s gone right.My partner’s a dopeI’m losing all hope.When opponents say “double”I know we’re in trouble.My points are not high,and I’m wondering whyShe kept on bidding right up to the sky.We’re in seven spades,I doubt she makesWhen surprise, surprise,all tricks she takesThe defenders feel sickMy partner’s really slick.All of a sudden,gone is my sorrowAnd yes, I’ll play again tomorrow!Bridge makes me cheer, then tear out my hair,One moment I’m soaring, the next in despair.I swear I should quit — or give it one more go...Tell me, Bridge friends, should I stay or should I go?We are a listener-supported program.
