A betting fool A gambling man No sooner up You're down again Mama said you won't get hurt Don't play the cards You won't get burned But there's a place where I still win But there's no money in this thing The game of hearts puts me in spades The only game I've got it made Oh I'm lucky in love Yes I've got the winning touch Lucky in love Suddenly I'm dangerous I'm betting on a filly down at the track A natural born winner that's a fact A hundred yards from the winning post The horse fell down must have seen a ghost But there's a place where I still win That is still my sure fire thing Ooh I will play the Jack of Spades You play the Queen I'll play the knave Oh I'm lucky in love Yes I've got the winning touch Lucky in love Suddenly I'm dangerous I know it's a mystery When the numbers come up Cause mathematics is Greek to me But I'm lucky, I'm lucky I'm lucky in love Yeah Las Vegas at night at the roulette wheel Yeah Monte Carlo try to cut a deal Atlantic City I lose at craps Back in London try to win it back And late at night I lay in bed With a pistol to my head Swear I couldn't take no more And in she walks right through my door Oh I'm lucky in love When I think I've had enough Lucky in love Yes I've got the winning touch Suddenly I'm dangerous Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky Lucky with the ladies Thank God for the ladies Otherwise I'd go, I'd go crazy How about a line of credit For say ten thousand dollars Eighteen on the red Put me, put me home to bed baby Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky Lucky with the ladies I'm sitting here with a full house you know I just can't just can't lose out on this Okay, okay your ten thousand And ten thousand more Oh you want to raise me You want to raise me How about this Twenty thousand and twenty thousand more Okay you want to see me Well I got, I got a full house What's that A royal flush Well ain't that a bust I'm broke
