When I look back at my time at the track

And I played and I played and I played and I was

Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack's

Come on fade me Jake

I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners

A bath what a bath what a bath I'd take

A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake

I took that serious



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

And a drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again



I'm a gambling fool with a roll and a cue

Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me

Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime

And they picked me clean

The chance and the game drove Old Silky insane

What a pain what a strain on my brain it was

A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake

I took that serious



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

A drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again



Serious it was serious oh so serious

Serious it was serious oh so serious



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

A drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Or a friend

Again and again and again and again and again



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

A drink a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor



Again and again and again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again and again

And again and again
