Lyrics
This month I lost three hundred pound
I tried to pick a penny up (oh)
Here I am stuck in a rut (oh)
Because I've got no Lady Luck (no)
The cashier said today's my day (yes)
Straight after she said hello (hello)
Take a risk and have a go
If you never try, you'll never know
Thirteen to two, eighteen to one (hey)
Working out the odds and trying to have some fun (fun)
Maybe the favourite is where I need to go
But that horse is evens and now I don't know (no)
Too many choices, just pick one and see
How lucky can one man be?
How lucky can one man be?
How lucky can one man be?
Lucky dip red chip
Multi bet red roulette
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
A fiver here a tenner there
Place your bets if you dare
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
Lucky dip red chip
Multi bet red roulette
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
A fiver here a tenner there
Place your bets if you dare
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
Oh how much can I take, oh how much can I take, oh how much can I take
When I'm losing higher stakes?
Three o'clock games about to start
Win or lose, il go with my heart
As long as these games all go my way
All my problems will fizzle away
Everyone looks so smart in here
Emotions range from high to low (Oh)
Everyone wearing their suits in here
Some with a tie and some with a bow (oh yeah)
Big bet, small bet, lose or win
Twenty three red, got to give it a spin
Telling myself this will be the one (yeah)
Convincing myself until it's no fun (yes)
Let's see what trick I've got up my sleeve
Maybe il go for magic number three
How lucky can one man be?
How lucky can one man be?
Lucky dip red chip
Multi bet red roulette
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
A fiver here a tenner there
Place your bets if you dare
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
Lucky dip red chip
Multi bet red roulette
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
A fiver here a tenner there
Place your bets if you dare
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
Oh how much can I take, oh how much can I take
When I'm losing higher stakes?
Twelve hours gambling two hundred pound cost
Six in the morning, I feel a bit lost (I feel lost)
These risks and chances that I crave
Fortune always favours the brave (hey)
I can feel my heart pound
Watching all these greyhounds
Chasing rabbits round and round
All these noises, all these sounds
On the edge of my seat
Sweaty hands and itchy feet
Is this going to be my week
Or just another losing streak? (ohhh)
Lucky dip red chip
Multi bet red roulette
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
A fiver here a tenner there
Place your bets if you dare
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
Lucky dip red chip
Multi bet red roulette
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
A fiver here a tenner there
Place your bets if you dare
How much can I take when I'm winning higher stakes?
Oh how much can I take, oh how much can I take, oh how much can I take
When I'm losing higher stakes?
Hands in my pocket my last bit of cash
One more go got to give it a bash
I'm going for the win
Will it come in?
No more bets please
