I wrote this song about a game of Scrabble in 2008, based on a true story. This is a live recording from March 2020.

1. She put squints on a triple with q on the double
I thought I was winning but now I'm in trouble
All of my hopes, false expectations burst like a bubble
2. It's the first rule of offense to cover your back
Protect all your troopers from a flanking attack
Don't let the lineman in for a sack
[Chorus] How could I let myself relinquish control
Let my constructions collapse into rubble
On the very last play, on the very last roll
She put squints on a triple with q on the double
3. She has flung in my face all those skills that I taught her
Now I'm left in disgrace its a moral that's sought here
You better be careful when playing games with your daughter [Chorus]
Bridge: Just look at the score
Nothing will be the same in this game anymore
4. She giggles and she claps but her face seems to soften
I think she's perhaps rolled the dice once too often
So come on now, one more for the road baby
I'm not yet in my coffin [Chorus]
