You ain't got nothin' that you need so bad That you couldn't give it up for a choice of two An unseen chance is gonna come your way Before this night is through
Blackjack, baccarat, matters of the heart If you've just got the money You're a loser to start And you can fold away your dreams as they come true Dreams come true
Walkin' down Forbes Street, Early hours of Wooloomooloo Chancy games in a hotel room On Springfield Avenue
And if the numbers fall And if the numbers fall right And if the numbers fall I know all my dreams come true
I know you're old Cause all you're laying down is Easy gold You never take your heart uptown anymore You don't bleed anymore The Forbes Street croupiers Are lookin' like cashers at a Black and White Charity Ball
Roll 'em up once Roll 'em up twice The rustle of the money And the click o' the dice Five-fifty dollars on the wheel Oughta make it For six I'll teach your sister to Shake it, shake it, shake it
Rich girls, bad girls Jumpin' on a fad girls Cuttin' things fine is how I first met you Livin' outside in the real estate You know we stake a little more Than just a dollar or two
And if the numbers fall And if the numbers fall right And if the numbers fall I know all my dreams'll come true
