Song #7: Gladys & Gambler's Mentality

I picked up the Mandolin for this one... Or should I say Person-dolin as my friend Nathan says. :) This is a play on Gladys Knight and the Pips... and political correctness. haha.

Interesting fact:

Pip = A dot indicating a unit of numerical value on dice or dominoes.

Gladys & Gambler's Mentality

Gladys was a gambler. She'd only come out at night.
She'll roll the dice when the stakes are high. You can bet your life.
She'll never give up, never say die
Never knows when it is time...
To quit while she's ahead
Just go ahead and quit while your ahead

CHORUS:
She's got a gambler's mentality
Or should I say “female-ity.
It's a sickness, a malady
I think that you'll agree with me
She's like a melody to the rhythm of the dice

Vegas was her second home. Reno was the first.
Atlantic City was like a summer cottage, but wait it gets worse...
She stop at every reservation, every riverboat...
From Nevada to the Jersey shoreline

From MGM to Excalibur, everybody had heard of her
Gladys is like royalty, the gambling queen
She'd win as much as she'd lose, then lose what she would win
As soon as one game ends, another would begin

And I say, “Gladys... Why don't you quit while your ahead!?”
