Five hundred will buy you a stack
Bet it on the red or the black and you lose Bet on the blues You tell me you are 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 a kind of a chump, you can use Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues Lucky old sun is shining today
Even money says you'll be paying some dues Bet on the blues You say you found your lady fair
Eight to five says she's wearing her traveling shoes Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues, bet on the blues Five hundred will buy you a stack
Bet it all on the red or the black 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
Bet on the blues Bet on the blues
You better, bet on the blues
