Place your bets, please Lady luck is rich But she's cruel as a witch One day, you're living high And the next, you're in the ditch I chased the mighty buck And I courted lady luck Caught within her trap at the casino Gambling was my dream And I served the gambling queen Sometimes, she'd let me win Then she'd take it back again She'd build my hopes up high Then break me every time Caught within her trap at the casino Caught within her trap at the casino And now I'm free Free from the gambling queen The lady had to flee 'Cause your love rescued me Free from all her lies Free from tossing dice Free from lady luck and the casino Free from lady luck and the casino Lady luck, the queen Was the one behind the scene The spirit in control Who vexed my weary soul But deep inside of me I longed to be set free Free from sorcery at the casino Free from sorcery at the casino With words of truth to tell You came and broke her spell Love light in your eyes That made me realize There must be something more Something to live for Something more beyond the door of the casino Something more beyond the door of the casino And now I'm free Free from the gambling queen The lady had to flee 'Cause your love rescued me Free from all her lies Free from tossing dice Free from lady luck and the casino Free, free, free from the gambling queen The lady had to flee 'Cause your love rescued me Free from all her lies Free from tossing dice Free from lady luck and the casino Free from the casino Free from lady luck and the casino
