A funky, light-hearted anthem about four friends playing cards every Tuesday, sharing laughs and plenty of smoke. 'What I Bid' captures the whimsical chaos of card games gone wild as Patrick, White Danny, Black Danny, and Paul struggle to remember their bids in a haze of weed and good times.
Verse 1:
Gather 'round the table, it’s that time of the week,
Patrick's got the cards, and the vibes are looking sweet.
White Danny’s on the couch, puffing clouds of bliss,
Black Danny’s counting tricks, don’t let 'em go amiss.
Paul’s got that grin, can’t remember the score,
We’re playing Oh Hell, but what’s it all for?
Chorus:
Oh, what did I bid?
Can’t recall the plan, it’s all in the wind,
Laughing and joking, lost in the haze,
What did I bid in this funky card maze?
What's the bid?
Verse 2:
White Danny’s house, that’s where we collide,
Cards flying high and our worries subside.
Tricks are unfolding, but the brain feels slow,
Forget about the bid, let the good times flow.
“Dude, am I winning? Or just losing my mind?”
Black Danny’s there with his love for the grind.
Chorus:
Oh, what did I bid?
Can’t recall the plan, it’s all in the wind,
Laughing and joking, lost in the haze,
What did I bid in this funky card maze?
What's the bid?
Bridge:
Cribbage on the horizon, when the smoke rolls dense,
We’ll shift the game again, but who’s got the sense?
Cards in the air, like our dreams so absurd,
We’re spinning tales along with each playful word.
Chorus:
Oh, what did I bid?
Can’t recall the plan, it’s all in the wind,
Laughing and joking, lost in the haze,
What did I bid in this funky card maze?
What's the bid?
Outro:
So, gather ‘round boys, it’s our Tuesday delight,
Patrick, White Danny, Black Danny, Paul in sight.
All we need is laughter, and the smoke to lift,
Every card we play redefines what we call a gift.
Oh, what did I bid?
Just a stroke of luck, or a cosmic little quiz,
With friends by my side, it’s all that I need,
In the heart of the game - let’s embrace what we heed,
What's the bid?

The song is called "What I bid"
Style is early 1990's red hot chili peppers funk song. It is about a group of 4 guys that play cards every tuesday. They smoke a lot of weed, and often forget where they are in the game.
The mood is light hearted and funny.
Key things to include:
The game is OH HELL: Oh Hell is a trick-taking card game where players bid on how many tricks they'll win, and then try to take that many tricks, scoring points for both the tricks taken and for matching their bid exactly
The guys names are Patrick, White Danny, Black Danny, and Paul.
They key joke to the song is that they get high enough that they forget what they, themselves, bid for a given hand. So the key line or hook or last line of chorus should/could be "What did I bid?"
Other things that are not central, but can be mentioned: They play at White Danny's house, when people get to stoned, they move to Cribbage (which is a milwaukee mainstay)
Also, I would like the last line of the chorus to be "What's the Bid?"
