Angels who art in heaven
I hope you can hear this prayer
Lord, I’d like to win a lot…playing on this penny slot
Let me feel like a millionaire
Give me my piece…. of the American dream
I wanna win the jackpot on this slot machine

CA CA CA- CHING, CA- CHING ..
Make that money ring
CA- CHING, CA- CHING ..
Make  me wanna  sing
CA- CHING, CA- CHING
Gimme  good luck when I’m gambling
Hear  this Gambler’s Prayer

Give me this day… my fortune
Tired of getting deeper in debt
Certain I can beat the odds.. I’d even bet against the Gods
Raking in….. the bacon on a bet
Heaven can you help me…… thy will be done ..
For once I wanna shout out … I won  I won I won

CHORUS

Now I know that some say that gambling… can be an addiction
A vice …that makes a life … of misery
But me…I don’t take chances…..I diversify my finances
I bet on quarterbacks, racetracks, blackjack,
and the lottery

CHORUS TAG

Ca Ching Ca Ching….. the devil makes me do this awful thing
Make me rich as a ca king
Ca Ching Ca ching… I just lost everything
Oh God….. let me win …. Ill be a good boy
Oh God … I’m prayin’ to you…...this gambler’s prayer
I won’t drink, I won’t curse
What the hell’s friggin worse
Oh God …..Oh God…( fade out)

Songwriting Inspiration:

My 40 aunts and uncles loved to go to the casino. Once a month, I would rent a bus and take them to Atlantic City or to the Mohegan Sun Thank you Auntie Gloria for your inspiration to my lyrics
