Lucky Too

It was Christmas in Las Vegas, when the locals take the town Theresa hit a streak and laid her waitress' apron down She'd been playin' penny poker over at the ol' Gold Spike She won at Texas Hold'em, and again at Let It Ride Over on Fremont Street, six bits won her a car So she rode it up the Strip where the flashy hotels are First she hit a royal -- not a dirty one this time Then she drew four deuces -- and then five wilds Hundred dollar "Homerun" -- three coin "Red, White and Blue" "Double Jackpots" -- "Double Diamonds" -- (both progressives, too) Five buck "Black and Gold", five times in a row "Blazing Sevens" seven times, so the story goes She even hit "Big Bertha" -- five grand for just one coin She placed it on a parlay -- took the Cowboys and the points She had the 'Niners and the "over" -- the "under" and the Jets She took the whole college schedule and she won every bet She picked the six in Powerball -- she called the Super Bowl She even had the Triple Crown - win, place, and show At baccarat and blackjack, she could not seem to lose At French roulette she pressed her bet, four times on 32 She held the dice forever -- at least it seemed that way She won a million dollars and then she walked away It was Christmas in Las Vegas, when the locals take the town Theresa hit a streak and laid her waitress' apron down In her room after New Years at the Thunderbird Hotel On the back of a winning keno card they found this living will My friends get all my money -- may they always have enough To my enemies I leave my luck -- only maybe not quite so tough The dealers get my "bones" -- may they keep 'em on a roll The Devil's had my body, now may the Good Lord take my soul So do not try to find me, for I will not be found I'm gonna keep this stake alive -- I'm headed out of town It was Christmas time in Vegas, when the locals take the town Theresa hit that streak, and laid her waitress' apron down.
