You ain't got nothin' that you need so bad

That you couldn't give it up for a choice of two

An unseen chance is gonna come your way

Before this night is through



Blackjack, baccarat, matters of the heart

If you've just got the money

You're a loser to start

And you can fold away your dreams as they come true

Dreams come true



Walkin' down Forbes Street,

Early hours of Wooloomooloo

Chancy games in a hotel room

On Springfield Avenue



And if the numbers fall

And if the numbers fall right

And if the numbers fall

I know all my dreams come true



I know you're old

Cause all you're laying down is

Easy gold

You never take your heart uptown anymore

You don't bleed anymore

The Forbes Street croupiers

Are lookin' like cashers at a

Black and White Charity Ball



Roll 'em up once

Roll 'em up twice

The rustle of the money

And the click o' the dice

Five-fifty dollars on the wheel

Oughta make it

For six I'll teach your sister to

Shake it, shake it, shake it



Rich girls, bad girls

Jumpin' on a fad girls

Cuttin' things fine is how I first met you

Livin' outside in the real estate

You know we stake a little more

Than just a dollar or two



And if the numbers fall

And if the numbers fall right

And if the numbers fall

I know all my dreams'll come true
