Lucky Too

Bob Neuwirth

It was Christmas in Las Vegas, when the locals take the town
Theresa hit a streak and laid her waitress' apron down
She was playin' penny poker, over at the ol' Gold Spike
She tired of Texas Hold 'em, so she switched to Let It Ride

And over on Fremont Street, six bits won her a car
She rode it up the Strip where to the flashy hotels are
First she hit a royal, not a dirty one this time
And then she drew four deuces, and then five wilds

Then Hundred dollar "Homerun," three coin "Red, White and Blue"
Then "Double Jackpots" and "Double Diamonds" and both progressives, too
Six buck "Black and Gold," six times in a row
Then "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, she took the Cowboys and the points
She took the 'Niners and the "overs," she took the "unders" and the Jets
She took the whole college schedule and she won every bet

She picked the six in Powerball and called the Super Bowl
She 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 own 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, maybe not quite so tough

The dealers get my "bones" boys, 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 streak alive, I'm headed out of town

It was Christmas time in Vegas, when the locals own the town
Theresa hit that streak, and laid her waitress' apron down
