Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why not play?
[Verse 2]
Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening
But you know the chances are so small
Struck by a bee sting, nothing but a bee thing
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall
[Verse 3]
But it's a twenty-three or four to one
That you can fall in love by the end of this song
So get up, get up, tell the bookie put a bet and
Not a damn thing will go wrong
[Verse 4]
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night
[Verse 5]
Hit by the A train, crashed in an airplane
Wouldn't recommend either one
Killed by a great white or a meteorite
Guess there ain't no way to go that's fun
[Verse 6]
But somewhere in the world
Someone is gonna fall in love by the end of this song
So get up, get up, no, I'm never gonna let up
So you might as well sing along
[Verse 7]
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night
[Verse 8]
Sure things go wrong
But I'll take my chances
Odds are low
Why not play?
[Verse 9]
Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening
But you know the chances are so small
Hit by the A train, crashed in an airplane
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall
[Verse 10]
But it's a twenty-three or four to one
That you can fall in love by the end of this song
So get up, get up, no, it's never gonna let up
So you might as well sing along
[Verse 11]
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright, alright
[Verse 12]
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night
