The Stately Pleasure Domes-A Constanza
Atlantic City has many a stately pleasure dome.
Will your money go to the tables or the machines?
Either way, there will be losing scenes.
It seems like your money has no home.
Down to Atlantic City you will always go.
You place frivolous bets in the casino.
Your money dissipates just like the sea foam.
With every seven out or dealer’s twenty-one,
your money just goes. That isn’t fun.
You will never win a race in that hippodrome.
You lose your money, and you lose it fast.
Good luck is a fickle thing. It will not last.
To the nearby pawn shop you frequently roam.
You constantly put up your things for a loan.
They have just about everything you own.
Atlantic City has many a stately pleasure dome.
It seems like your money has no home.
Your money dissipates just like the sea foam.
You will never win a race in that hippodrome.
To the nearby pawn shop you frequently roam.
