Lyrics

May 2007
It's true I'm widely viewed as an armchair connoisseur
A pundit and a critic and an expert raconteur
On all things above and below
The grade D and the primo
But I've got to say there's just one place I've got a hankering for

Just give me a day at the old casino
Keep the doldrums at bay with some loose change and a c-note
It's the neon lights and sounding bells that keep me there
The conviction that a jackpot's always near

Yeah, just give this senior a chance at that old casino
I say a finer plan has yet to be conceived o'
I can prove my hand adept at craps or slot machines
Or maybe even something that demands some skill of me

Well that bandit's just got one arm to hold you
And roulette's got your number on the wheel
The casino's got a buffet stocked of just what to console you
And a gambler's just got one heart to heal

So give me a day at that old casino
Deal me an ace of spades and a black jack or suicide king
Cuz frankly, all the odds are stacked against me, I've no doubts
But that means it's just me against the house

Just give me a day at that old casino!
