The Lyrics

I'm a casino dealer and this song is meant to be a supervisor's lament. Note: purple action means $500 checks (chips) are in play.
Watchin' and listenin' and walkin' and countin',
Addin' and notin' my section is down.
My shift boss is wearing a frown.
So if you're dealin' for me, make some dough.
All you have to do is greet 'em and change 'em and deal 'em and win
'em--
Yeah, just do it, and if you will, please don't be slow.

Dealer busts again; what to do?
Change the cards, dealer, too.
And that spin--how much can they win?
Oh, well, 3-card's dumpin', players are a-jumpin', have to think of somethin'.

Just watchin' and listenin' and walkin' and countin'
And checkin' out Diamond Dan checkin' in.
I need more high rollers like him.
It looks like purple in action, money to the limit to play.
All you have to do is change 'em and deal 'em and win 'em (or steal
'em)--
Yeah, just do it, and if you can win, you'll make my day (repeat last
four words twice more).
