JACKedPOT!!!
Here you are!
Las Vegas bound!
Got your dollars
by the pound!
Looking 'round at
all the sights!
The big Casinos!
Pretty lights!
You are here
for three big nights...
You and the wife
take in a show!
Gotta do
that
don'tcha know
Then the liquor
starts to flow
The quarter slots
and off you go...
WOW! You WON!
$800 bucks!
You just can't
believe
your luck!
You're hi-rollin'!
That's no lie!
Friend, you won the
***** PRIZE.
Off you go to the
Blackjack table
You play as long
as you are able
Start to
lose
.
Become unstable
Win in Vegas?
That's a
fable...
You begin to
lose your mind
You lose more money
Than you find
Gambling
becomes a grind
You are really
in a bind
Sin City's really
so
unkind...
Table to table
You're on the hop
You're all over
on the shop
Buying chips with
money you ain't got
Your wife is
begging you to
stop
...
Back at the slots
where you began
Don't know day from night
my friend
You drop the dollars
You're 'round the bend
You spent money
your friends lend
Finally you're
at the end...
Here you are
upon the stool
You didn't play
by you're own rules
Don't bank the house
and be a tool
But here you sit
Just like a
fool...
Now you're singin'
the sad song
You spent it all
you're in the wrong
Vegas knew it all along
Your wife has left
your money's
gone
...
Open pocket
out it slips
You fell for
the dealer's quips
The dreams of riches
from their lips
You fell for
the gambling whips
now you gotta
EAT THOSE CHIPS.

The sad thing about gambling addiction
is you may not know that you're
addicted until it's too late...
