Take a Chance

I like money

Give me some cash money.

Put it in my slot.

We’ll play a game that’s funny.

I swear you will like it a lot.

If my small pictures match up,

a prize you’re bound to win.

It just a question of luck.

Come and take me for a spin.

Sometimes you win a bit,

but you could win a lot.

If that jackpot you hit,

You won’t believe what you got.

Just give me a bill,

then my button you should press.

Say your favorite spiel.

I swear you’ll be impressed.

When big you hit it,

just what will you do?

Will you go to be fit,

for clothes that are brand new.

Will you buy some new bling,

like a nice chain of gold.

Will it be a special thing,

that all will wish they could hold.

How much does it cost,

for a dream so great.

Your money is not lost.

It’s just a question of fate.

Can you pass up your chance.

Just one one more time you spin.

Let’s have a real romance,

this time you might win.
