Dirty Deal

 

Verse

Wishful thinking and a four-leaf clover, baby blow on these dice

I put two hundred on the Knicks to cover--Lady Luck, please love me tonight

Slot machines, they’re for losers; I’m here to win

I’m no hooked smoker, no DT’d boozer--deal me out of all that sin

 

Chorus       

Life is a game, a big win we chase

While riding Fortune’s Wheel

I bluffed so pretty then he drew that ace

Seems I always get a dirty deal

 

Verse

I’ve got the Vikings and a three-point spread; going to end my luckless streak

The Packers are driving but won’t go ahead—it can’t happen again this week

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

I play the same numbers just for fun, every single day

Six-six-six and nine-one-one, my first ex-wife’s birthday

 

Verse

My fingers are crossed on the foot of a rabbit; the champ can’t lose this fight

I’ve got no problem, just a harmless habit—I’ll bet you fifty bucks I’m right

 

Chorus
