lyrics

Well I'm not a gamblin' man
Oh but nevertheless I tried my hand
So sick and tied of being poor
I bought a ticket in the Wednesday lottery draw

And that night while on the sup
I swear to God my numbers come up
I finished my bottle and then three more
I danced until my feet were sore

Ooow what's a poor man to do?

The first thing that I done
Is I got on the blower and called my Mum
Told her that her cares were through
I'd buy the house and a holiday too

Next I called my boss
in no uncertain terms I quit my job
he could shove his pay and his overtime too
This mans workin days are through

Next I called my girl
I told her I loved her and promised the world
Wedding bells and a chapel too
and a honeymoon in Vanuatu

Ooow what's a poor man to do?

Well I went to claim my prize
But it crumbled before my bloodshot eyes
With wishful thinking and getting drunk
I'd gone and got the numbers all stuffed up

Now whats a man to do
Stoney broke hungover too
Waitin' at the back of a Centrelink queue
I've let down Mum and there's a wedding soon

Ooow what's a poor man to do?
