Five hundred'll buy you a stack
Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose
Bet on the blues

They tell me you're a gambling man
Try to beat the house if you can and you lose
Bet on the blues

If you're looking to get an inside slant
If you're looking for something so good you can't refuse
Bet on the blues

Find a man who thinks he's over the hump
And I'm here to tell you he's the kind of a chump you can use
Bet on the bluеs
Bet on the blues

Your sun is shining today
Evеn money says you'll be paying some dues
Bet on the blues

You found your lady fair
Eight to five, she's wearing her traveling shoes
Bet on the blues

If you're looking to get an inside slant
If you're looking for something so good you can't refuse
Bet on the blues
Find a man who thinks he's over the hump
And I'm here to tell you he's the kind of a chump you can use
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues

Five hundred'll buy you a stack
Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose
Bet on the blues

They tell me you're a gambling man
Try to beat the house if you can and you lose
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
