Verse 1
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Bb7]
I'm down to a roll of dimes, I'm stalking the slot that's hot
[Eb7] [Bb7]
I keep hearing bells all around me, jingling in the lucky jackpots
[F7] [Eb7]
They keep you tantalized, they keep you reaching for your wallet
[Bb7] [Cm7] [F7]
Here in fools' paradise
Verse 2
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Bb7]
I talked to a cat from Des Moines, he said he ran a cleaning plant
[Eb7] [Bb7]
That cat was clanking with coin, well, he must have had a genie in a lamp
[F7] [Bb7]
'cause every time I dropped a dime I blew it, he kept ringing bells, nothing to it!
Chorus
[Bb7] [Eb7]
He got three oranges, three lemons, three cherries, three plums
[Bb7/F] [Bb7]
I'm losing my taste for fruit,
[Eb7] [Dm7] [G7]
Watching the dry cleaner do it like Midas in a polyester suit
[Cm7] [F7]
It's all luck! It's just luck!
[D7] [G7] [Cm7] [F7]
You get a little lucky and you make a little money!

Verse 3
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Bb7] [F7]
I followed him down the strip, he picked out a booth at Circus Circus
[Eb7]
where the cowgirls fill the room with their big balloons
[Bb7] [G7]
The cleaner was pitching with purpose!
[C7] [F7] [Dm7] [G7]
He had Dinos and Pooh Bears and lions, pink and blue there
[C7] [F7]
He couldn't lose there!

[Cm7] [F7] [Bb7]

Chorus
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Bb7]
Des Moines was stacking the chips, raking off the tables, ringing the bandit's bells
[Eb7] [Bb7] [Eb7] [C7]
This is a story that's a drag to tell since I lost every dime I laid on the line
[F7] [Eb7]
But the cleaner from Des Moines could put a coin
[Bb7]
In the door of a John and get twenty for one
[Eb7] [Bb7]
It's just luck!

[Bb7/F] [G7] [Cm7] [F7sus4]
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Bb7]
That cat's got luck, that cat's got luck
[Eb7] [Bb7] [G7]
That cat's got luck, that cat's got luck
[C7] [F7] [Bb7] [G7] [C7] [F7]
That cat's got luck, that cat's got luck
[Bb7]
Really lucky, lucky
