Lyrics

You could do the laundry

I'll come by on Monday

You give me the money

I will buy a ticket

On the local lottery

We could win the lottery

We could go to Vegas

And be very happy

Ooh loo loo loo loo loo

Ooh loo loo loo loo loo

Ooh loo loo loo loo loo loo

Ooh loo loo loo loo loo

Ooh loo loo loo loo loo

Ooh loo loo loo loo loo loo

I could be a plumber

We could wait till summer

We could save our money

Have a fine vacation

We could buy a trailer

If we bought a trailer

We could go to Vegas

And be very happy

Ooh loo loo loo loo if life is just a gamble

Gamble if you want to win

Ooh loo loo loo loo life can be so easy

Let the wheel of fortune spin

We could make a record

Sell a lot of copies

We could play Las Vegas

And be very happy

Ooh loo loo loo loo if life is just a gamble

Gamble if you want to win

Ooh loo loo loo loo life can be so easy

Let the wheel of fortune spin
