Help me get the monkey off my back
Help me get my feet back on the track
Help me get the monkey back in the tree
Somebody, anybody come rescue me
From the casino
Get dressed up when the sun goes down
Head across to the bright side of town
To the casino
The atmosphere’s all glitzy glow
There’s places where just the high rollers go
At the casino
You can listen to the music, you can feel the heat
The band plays up tempo with a latin beat
At the casino
I can hear those pokies calling out to me
Put the coins in the slot, I’m so hap,happy
At the casino
I’m gonna place a bet when the symbols spin
I feel so lucky now
I think I’m going to win
Then I look up the aisle, where the folks sit
I can see that they don’t know when to quit
At the casino
There’s rings round their eyes and their stare is cold
It seems like the monkeys eating at their soul
At the casino
But they keep on placing bets as the symbols spin
There’s tension everywhere, they know they’ll never win
Help me get the monkey off my back
Help me get my feet back on the track
Help me get the monkey back in the tree
Somebody, anybody come rescue me
From the casino
