"A Pair Of Dice (Is Paradise)" Lyrics

Well, a pair of dice is paradise and
nothing beats the rush of a ,
Good lord! Royal flush!

Let there be that minute chance
that the odds always enhance,
Let the race be on! Begin!
I'm not sure, but I might win!

Well, Rummy or Roulette, whatever the game,
Knowing the outcome is not quite the same
as doing your best because you might lose
and dodging the chances of paying out dues,
Because...

CHORUS /Bridge
Life is all changes
and we're never quite sure
of what we will make it,

the less or the more —
But if we were certain of all that we'd win,
would we keep watching that roulette wheel spin?
And miss the sweet mystery that keeps us alive?
Perhaps to avoid that one fact ,we die.

Well, a pair of dice is paradise and
nothing beats the rush of a ,
Good lord! Royal flush.

I'm not sure, but I'll bet on it.
Time's runnin' out, let's be on with it.
If I play my hand long enough,
I'm bound to end up with a Royal flush.

Whether we win or lose, it's all the same,
A laughing joy or a crying' shame.
Anyway, I've heard it said
It's how you play the Game.
