On the road to Vegas gonna try me Irish luck
Left L.A. behind me set to bet a couple bucks
Hit the town of bright lights maybe get some sinnin' in
Hope the wins come easy like they do for Patty Finn
(Chorus)
So bet the doggies and ponies play yer cards and roll them dice
They say the boys a sure thing go bet the bastard twice
Take my U.S. dollars and deal this fella in
I'll be rollin' in the green stuff like our man Patty Finn
Fifty on a slot machiine two hundred playin' craps
The sun is settin' on my dreams and someone's playing T.A.P.S.
Got busted up at poker and I'm bleeding like a wound
Took my chances with Lady Luck and got me wee arse tuned
(Chorus)
Who's the patron saint of gamblin'?
Who's a-watchin' over me?
Who's got a dime I can borrow?
Who's my savior gonna be?
Why can't I find a clock in here?
Why won't they ever let me win?
Why didn't me mother name me
Good ol' Patty Finn?
I shoulda left an hour ago, gotta get right out this place
I thought I had that joker beat but he flopped that second ace
I got one more chance dear blackjack can't watch I'm fuckin' done
Patty must be in the room I just hit twenty-one
(Chorus)
