Hysterical, lottolaughs!! Thanks for the chuckle. The words fit right in with the melody. Now, how do I get the darn tune out of my head?

(Coin Toss, the song you mentioned is my theme song!)

BTW, a little song trivia....did you know that only one year at the Grammy Awards there was a category for best disco song? It was sometime in the 80s and Gloria Gaynor won for I will survive. I haven't looked it up yet, but I clearly remember hearing that on the radio one day. Ju... [ More ]

Great stuff everyone!

Remember They're Coming To Take Me Away?

Remember when you laughed and said

my system was a lot of work

and that I'd probably never hit!

Well I tracked and tracked both day and night

and then when things looked exactly right

I filled out my playslip

but the machine would not take it!

And wouldn't you know the time cut off

the numbers that would have been on that ticket!

Well, th... [ More ]

Gloria Gaynor (I Will Survive)

First I was afraid

I was petrified............

Rushed right up too--ward the counter

but the machine had died........

And I spent so many nights

thinking how you did me wrong

I grew strong

I knew you'd come back on.......

Now you're back

Online again.....

I just walked in to find you here

with that greedy look upon your face

I should've known you'd break again

I should've stayed at home today

If I had known for just one... [ More ]

Don't think you want me to take up 10 screens, so I'll edit a bit:

From West Side Story:

Tonight, tonight

Won't be Just any Night

Tonight I will get 4 out of 5

I Fought The Law The Law Won:

I spent my paycheck but neighbor won

Speaking of White Rabbit:

One ticket makes you scratch it

One just makes you wait

But the ones that you've been playing

Never turn out to be that great.

Go ask Jack

I think he'll know.

I like musical theatre too, and the first song when I read your post that came to mind was the song from the play Annie.

(The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow..almost same words)

My number will come up tomorrow

Bet my bottom dollar that tomorrow,

It will come.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow

You're always a day away!

Just thinkin' about tomorrow

Clears away the doubt and the sorrow

That my jackpot will never come

Whenever I have a dollar

The other threads brought this to mind...let's make up some of our own lottery song parodies, such as

(Beatles- Yesterday):

The day after a drawing for a big jackpot:

Yesterday, all those numbers seemed so good to play

but I didn't hit a one

not yesterday....
