| Welcome to the Hothouse, |
| the game is called «21» |
| I was in debt right up to my neck, |
| I wasn’t having any fun |
| But then the dealer turned around, |
| she looked me right in the eye |
| I got no time for a messing around |
| but you know I had to give it a try |
| She’s got me under the gun — she can’t have 21 |
| She asked me why I was takin' my time, |
| sweat running down my neck |
| I had the 6, the lady got 9 |
| from the bottom of the deck |
| A 4 for me, it was a good thing, |
| but she was sitting on a face |
| I said hit me with your best |
| shot and she gave me the ace |
| She’s got me under the gun — she can’t have 21 |
| I’ve got to be the chosen one — she can’t have 21 |
| I’ve gotta win, |
| I gotta win or I might as well be dead |
| God let me win, |
| just let me win, or I might as well be dead |
| She’s got me under the gun — she can’t have 21 |
| I’ve got to be the chosen one — she can’t have 21 |
| Deuce’s up, dealer has 21. No-o-o-o-o! |
