Gamble It Away, It's Okay...
Just call me Mr. Ruffle,
Because I'm stacking my chips,
One more roll of the dice,
One more lick of your lips,
Just call me Mr. Lucky,
Because I'm supposedly clever,
One more flip of that card,
One more pull of that lever,
Just call me Mr. Broke,
Because I took that last chance,
One more failed attempt,
One more empty pocketed pants.
