Lyrics
when i woke up this mornin - i knew it was my day
been waitin' way too long - now it's my turn to play
i'm headin' for the action - gonna gamble tonight
well getting there is one thing - but i've got to look right
Chorus: oh yeah - i'm gonna look right - hot tonight
oh yeah - i'm gonna look right
well i'm breezin' thru the door - and i'm struttin' all my stuff
i'm on highrise stillettoes - and i look good enough
i'm turnin' some heads my way - but that will have to wait
I came for the action - and i won't be late
chorus: oh no - i won't be late - never late
oh no - ain't gonna be late
Theme: so let it ride baby - cover my bet
momma's throwin' naturals and she ain't done yet
so pass me those dice - i'm on one hell of a roll
when i leave here - i'll leave as one happy soul
Chorus: Oh yeah one happy soul - happy soul
oh yeah - one happy soul
when i came in this evenin' - saw that look in your eye
i knew - what you - were thinkin' - baby - 'cause so was i
so lets roll em out together and if i make my point
ther's no tellin' where we can go tonight
chorus: my my - that look in your eye - oh my my
my my that look in your eye
Repeat Theme:
so let it ride baby - cover my bet
momma's throwin' naturals - and she ain't done yet
so pass me those dice - i'm on one hell of a roll
when i leave here - i'll leave as one happy soul
Chorus: oh yeah a big bankroll - big bank roll
oh yeah - a happy soul
we're leavin' here tonight - with a bankroll - uh huh
we're leavin' here tonight - two happy souls
end out
