The Ballad Of Cedric - Moxy Fruvous[00:00:00]

Up until just recently[00:00:01]

Gambling was thought to be blasphemy[00:00:02]

Like wilson phillips evil stuff[00:00:05]

But canada is changing fast[00:00:11]

Loosening it up at last legally[00:00:12]

The new narcotic take a puff[00:00:15]

Casinos open to raise funds for social needs[00:00:20]

Full of roulette wheels[00:00:25]

Black jack and video slot machines[00:00:27]

Now guys like cedric perform benevolent deeds[00:00:30]

I've been saving up my welfare[00:00:35]

Just to throw the dice on the velvet greens[00:00:36]

Money made by dealing folks[00:00:39]

Goes to helping healing folks 'cross the land[00:00:41]

I stand and proudly gush[00:00:44]

Casinos are a ministry handled governmentally[00:00:49]

Show your hand[00:00:51]

I almost had a royal flush[00:00:53]

Since cedric spent his last dime on 15 to 2[00:00:58]

I put my chips on 32 red it went to black instead[00:01:04]

Guys like cedric are pulling medicaire through[00:01:08]

Now they're asking me to leave[00:01:13]

And I'm poor and I'm peeved so I just might heave[00:01:14]

So he mortgaged the house and he traded the kids[00:01:17]

And he studied the odds and he practiced the bids[00:01:20]

The he ran to province next door to his[00:01:22]

Where casinos were a brand new flourishing biz[00:01:24]

His new found luck at blackjack brought him such wealth[00:01:27]

They realized he'd make a perfect minister of health[00:01:32]

Now he's wearing all the hats[00:01:38]

Hanging out with bureaucrats at bookie joints[00:01:39]

He's a public money sponge[00:01:42]

Watch him place another bet[00:01:48]

We go deeper into debt losing points[00:01:49]

And credit ratings plunge[00:01:52]

We've made a virtue of that which used to be vice[00:01:57]

Lower tax on corporations gambling donations pay the bills[00:02:02]

Now gambling addicts are civil servants with dice[00:02:07]

Selling health to the hopeless pocketing the profits curing our ills[00:02:12]

Our social service is getting nervous[00:02:16]

As cedric hands it to one-armed bandits[00:02:21]

It's hell for purists but swell for tourists so yeah[00:02:26]
