You could do the laundry
I'll come by on monday
You give me the money
I will buy a ticket
On the local lottery
We could win the lottery
We could go to vegas
And be very happy
("ooh loo's")
(or) i could be a plumber
We could wait till summer
We could save our money
Have a fine vacation
We could buy a trailer
If we bought a trailer
We could go to vegas
And be very happy
("ooh loo's")if life is just gamble,
Gamble if you want to win
(more "ooh loo's")--life can be so easy
Let the wheel of fortune spin)
(or we could make a record
Sell a lot of copies
We could play las vegas
And be very happy)
("ooh loo's")--if life is just gamble,
Gamble if you want to win
(more "ooh loo's")--life can be so easy
Let the wheel of fortune spin
