about

A gambler’s song about luck and happiness. It uses the terms from a casino.

lyrics

STAKES AND ODDS

This is our lucky song number seven
And luck is not the only thing we need
A piece of us in the tropical heaven
And a gentle kangaroo stampede.

Lead me to the Phantom’s secret beach
Where all the grains of sand are golden
Who will be the pupil there and who will teach?
About how, why, who, which, where, and when.

The stakes and odds
Eyes with slumbers
Help me, Gods
The wheel with numbers.

Dice and cards
A cherry jackpot
Clubs and hearts
chips and whatnot.

This is our lucky song, hope you’ll like it
Happiness is the only thing that counts
I hope we’ll manage to hitchhike it
And keep it in substantial amounts.

Saturn made a turn in my seventh house
But I feel quite well, thank you very much
Through my life, I’ll try to browse
To find my hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.

A millionaire
Straight win
Just one pair:
Jack and queen.

The stakes and odds
black and red
the coin slots
the die is dead.

This is our lucky song number seven
And luck is not the only thing we need
A piece of us in the tropical heaven
In a gentle kangaroo stampede.

The stakes and odds
Eyes with slumbers
Help me, Gods
The wheel with numbers.

Dice and cards
A cherry jackpot
Clubs and hearts
chips and whatnot.
