The Lyrics
I put my wealth onto
Red number 9.
It better stop there or I'll lose.
The ball's flyin'
Round the wheel, flyin'.
Don't think I can stand it--
The tension abounds.
Ball stops and has landed
On a black digit that brings me frowns.
I watch my wealth go to
The house and whine,
"No 9!"
Number 2,
Number 2,
Number 2,
Number 2. My head bows,
'Cause black was where
I wanted two be. . .
It's two late now.
Cost dearly.
To erstwhile wealth: "Adieu!"
No longer mine.
Red number 9.
It better stop there or I'll lose.
The ball's flyin'
Round the wheel, flyin'.
Don't think I can stand it--
The tension abounds.
Ball stops and has landed
On a black digit that brings me frowns.
I watch my wealth go to
The house and whine,
"No 9!"
Number 2,
Number 2,
Number 2,
Number 2. My head bows,
'Cause black was where
I wanted two be. . .
It's two late now.
Cost dearly.
To erstwhile wealth: "Adieu!"
No longer mine.

gee, first time i've seen a parody of this particular tune..j/k...5s
Thanks, Alvin. I'm in the final stretch.
How many to go, JAB? Gee, you must be exhausted. 555 cups of coffee to keep you going...
You bet on red number 9? Who do you think you are, John Lennon? All you'll get from me is a black number 5. (The five is self-explanatory, and I can't change font colors in this, so it's black.)
