The Lyrics
This is my second rewrite of this song hope i got it right this time
It´s been a bad day
There´s lots of bills that I have gotta pay
But in Las Vegas things did not quite go my way
My luck was so small
While playing poker, if in the deck there was no joker
I would be rich not broker
But I lost it all
And if your hand contained a royal flush
You as well would have bet lots of stuff
But he had five cards, and each one was a four
Now I´m so poor
Because of Murphy´s law I had to fail
I´ve got cash like a see-saw or a garbage pail
In olden days this would have got me thrown in jail
Guess I´m in luck, I might starve
But that is just about it
Just give me something
I´ll more than pay you back within just a week
I am sure my luck is gonna stop being bleak
On that I swear
I´m not addicted, I´m just trying not to be evicted
If you don´t help me then you are rather wicked
Also very unfair
And if your hand contained a royal flush
You as well would have bet lots of stuff
But he had five cards, and each one was a four
Now I´m so poor
Because of Murphy´s law I had to fail
I´ve got cash like a see-saw or a garbage pail
In olden days this would have got me thrown in jail
Guess I´m in luck, I might starve
But that is just about it
There´s lots of bills that I have gotta pay
But in Las Vegas things did not quite go my way
My luck was so small
While playing poker, if in the deck there was no joker
I would be rich not broker
But I lost it all
And if your hand contained a royal flush
You as well would have bet lots of stuff
But he had five cards, and each one was a four
Now I´m so poor
Because of Murphy´s law I had to fail
I´ve got cash like a see-saw or a garbage pail
In olden days this would have got me thrown in jail
Guess I´m in luck, I might starve
But that is just about it
Just give me something
I´ll more than pay you back within just a week
I am sure my luck is gonna stop being bleak
On that I swear
I´m not addicted, I´m just trying not to be evicted
If you don´t help me then you are rather wicked
Also very unfair
And if your hand contained a royal flush
You as well would have bet lots of stuff
But he had five cards, and each one was a four
Now I´m so poor
Because of Murphy´s law I had to fail
I´ve got cash like a see-saw or a garbage pail
In olden days this would have got me thrown in jail
Guess I´m in luck, I might starve
But that is just about it
