Siren Song

 

Want to be rich?
You can buy a new life
Six numbers are all that you need
Remember the numbers that
helped you before
There’s no shame in poor man’s greed

Take a chance
Two quid a go
That’s all it costs
Two quid a go

Buy extra tickets
To even the odds
A fistful is only a pony
With your wallet full
Of cash to spend
You will never be lonely

Take a chance
Two quid a go
That’s all it costs
Two quid a go

Buy a new house
Buy the whole street
A mansion with acres of land
A car or  two
And a great big yacht
Be the star in your own boy band

Take a chance
Two quid a go
That’s all it costs
Two quid a go

Excellent, Gillian. It sums up the lure of gambling - 'It could be you'.
