--------------------------------------------------------------------------------[00:00:01]

I'm down to a roll of dimes[00:00:21]

I'm stalking the slot that's hot[00:00:23]

I keep hearing bells all around me[00:00:25]

Jingling in the lucky jackpots[00:00:28]

They keep you tantalized[00:00:30]

They keep you reaching for your wallet[00:00:31]

Here in fools' paradise [00:00:33]

I talked to a cat from des moines[00:00:35]

He said he ran a cleaning plant[00:00:38]

That cat was clanking with coin[00:00:40]

Well he must have had a genie in a lamp[00:00:42]

'Cause every time--i dropped a dime--i blew it[00:00:45]

He kept ringing bells[00:00:47]

Nothing to it [00:00:48]

He got three oranges[00:00:50]

Three lemons[00:00:51]

Three cherries[00:00:52]

Three plums[00:00:53]

I'm losing my taste for fruit[00:00:53]

Watching the dry cleaner do it[00:00:55]

Like midas in a polyester suit[00:00:57]

It's all luck [00:01:00]

It's just luck [00:01:01]

You get a little lucky and you make a little money [00:01:03]

I followed him down the strip[00:01:21]

He picked out a booth at circus circus[00:01:24]

Where the cowgirls fill the room[00:01:26]

With their big balloons[00:01:28]

The cleaner was pitching with purpose [00:01:29]

He had dinos and pooh bears[00:01:31]

And lions--pink and blue there[00:01:32]

He couldn't lose there [00:01:34]

Des moines was stacking the chips[00:01:51]

Raking off the tables[00:01:53]

Ringing the bandit's bells[00:01:54]

This is a story that's a drag to tell[00:01:56]

(in some ways)[00:01:58]

Since i lost every dime[00:01:59]

I laid on the line[00:02:00]

But the cleaner from des moines[00:02:01]

Could put a coin[00:02:03]

In the door of a john[00:02:04]

And get twenty for one[00:02:06]

It's just luck [00:02:08]
