Twenty-One

(Don't play cards with money that you can't afford to lose.)
Twenty-one, twenty-one
My blood starts to run
And my heart starts to race
When they deal me an ace
I need a ten or a jack
Or a queen or a king

Twenty-one (Twenty-one)
Twenty-one

Lady luck is on my side tonight
But she's such a fickle dame
When I start to play the game

Lady luck is on my side tonight
But she's let me down before
And tonight I need to score

Twenty-one, twenty-one
The tourists they come
They come to play, they come to have fun
But I don't want whiskey, I don't want champagne
I got to stay on top of my game
Can't mess around if I want to win
I've got to show some discipline
There's only so much that I can do
Hey lady luck I'm talkin' to you

I'm feelin' lucky, I'm feelin' lucky
Tonight I'm feelin' very lucky
The dealer he busted, what do you know
I won the last four hands in a row
He deals me a six, he deals me a ten
Seems like my luck has come to an end
But I take a hit, and I catch a five
A ten, a six, a five is twenty-one, I'm still alive

I won again, I won again
I can't believe it, I won again
I got control, I got the cards
All of the sudden, I'm up fifty large
Now lots of people crowd 'round my chair
The pit boss is calling someone upstairs
And now they're changing dealers on me
But I can't be stopped, tonight I'll be free

Lady luck is on my side tonight
But she's such a fickle dame
When I start to play the game

Lady luck is on my side tonight
But my back's against the wall
So I gotta bet it all

All of it
All of it
On the next hand
One hundred grand

Deal me in!
