Slot Machine

Would the lady care to dance?
Oh, yes! I'd love to!
(Ooooo
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Gotta reach Atlantic City
I'm a winner every day
Blackjack holds no attraction
Just one game I play...
Get a grip on the handle of steel
Pull slowly, watch the wheels
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
It's too tough don't bank the anger
A black fever takes a hold on me
I play rough don't feel the danger
Won't give, baby nothing for free
I know the number I'm dreamin' of
Its just a symbol, a matter of luck
When you play with a slot machine
(Dontcha know you play with my heart?)
When you play with a slot machine
(Youre gonna tear it apart)
Stay cool hold yourself together
Keep praying that your lucks gonna turn
Don't be a fool, don't stay for ever
You know you're gonna get burned..
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
(Dontcha know you play with my heart?)
When you play with a slot machine
(Oh! No! No!)
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
Drat! I've torn my dress!
No! Really! Look...
