BAD BET
(Ian M. Bruce/Clark Sorley)

Stepping down the street trying not to stand on the lines
Looking for some good luck in these hard hard times
Looking for my share of what all the others get
Every risk I take is just a bad bad bet.

Doing all the things for luck I've heard we should
Salt over my left shoulder and I knock on wood
If I don't take my umbrella then rain I always get
Every risk I take is just a bad bad bet.

Bad bat...Bad bet
I should've gone left but I went right
Should've been loose but I was tight
I know just what I could use
A great big chunk of good good news

I'm the most unlucky guy you've ever seen
If I had a lucky number it would be thirteen
I avoid breaking mirrors but I still get into debt.
Every risk I take is just a bad bad bet.

Bad bet
I should've gone up but I went down
Everyone's square when I was round
I got holes on holes on both my shoes
Where's my chunk of good good news?

Stepping down the street trying not to stand on the lines
Looking for some good luck in these hard hard times
Looking for my share of what all the others get
Every risk I take is just a bad bad bet.
