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's")

(Or) 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's")If life is just gamble,

Gamble if you want to win

(more "ooh loo's")--life can be so easy

let the wheel of fortune spin)

(Or we could make a record

Sell a lot of copies

we could play Las Vegas

And be very happy)

("Ooh Loo's")--If life is just gamble,

Gamble if you want to win

(more "ooh loo's")--life can be so easy

let the wheel of fortune spin)
