Lucky Too by Bob Neuwirth
Lucky Too lyrics
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.
