Lời bài hát Laws Of Chance của Raymond Crooke

Verse 1 I Used To Put A Little Money On A Horse. Sometimes I’d Win, Sometimes I’d Lose Of Course. Then A Whole New Way Of Gambling Came Upon The Scene. The Temptation At First Was Not So Great Because You Had To Travel Interstate To Play The One-Armed Bandit, Poker Machine. Chorus Five Reels Are Spinning Round. I’m Waiting To Hear That Winning Sound. Come On Mister Cashman, Do Your Dance. Watching All My Money Burn. Soon My Luck Is Sure To Turn. I’m Due To Win According To The Laws Of Chance. Verse 2 The Pubs And Clubs Were Very Keen To Get This Wealth-Making Machine. They Said, “We All Have Quite A Lot To Gain. The Money Paid By Me And You Will Bring In Lots Of Revenue!” “Over My Dead Body!” Said John Cain. Chorus Five Reels Are Spinning Round. I’m Waiting To Hear That Winning Sound. Come On Mister Cashman, Do Your Dance. Watching All My Money Burn. Soon My Luck Is Sure To Turn. I’m Due To Win According To The Laws Of Chance. Verse 3 I Heard A Story Yesterday. A Lady Came To The Club To Play. She Parked Her Car And Locked Her Child Inside. The Pokies Had Her Hypnotized. Hours Passed Before She Realized, And As The Reels Spun Round Her Little Baby Died. Chorus Five Reels Are Spinning Round. I’m Waiting To Hear That Winning Sound. Come On Mister Cashman, Do Your Dance. Watching All My Money Burn. Soon My Luck Is Sure To Turn. I’m Due To Win According To The Laws Of Chance. Verse 4 Penguins And Dolphins Dance About As I Work Towards That Big Payout. I Can’t Stop Now Though I Really Can’t Afford To Play. My Wife Left Me The Other Night. Will She Come Back? Perhaps She Might. If I Bring Home The Jackpot, Then She’ll Stay. Verse 5 Looks Like I’ve Lost The Winning Thread. Should Have Quit While I Was Still Ahead. Now I See My Money Going Down The Drain. And As I Play Throughout The Night, I Can’t Help Thinking You Were Right, You Were Right To Ban These Bastards, Mister Cain. Chorus Five Reels Are Spinning Round. I’m Waiting To Hear That Winning Sound. Come On Mister Cashman, Do Your Dance. Watching All My Money Burn. Don’t Think My Luck Will Ever Turn. I’ve Been Cheated, Defeated By The Laws Of Chance.
