Big Game Tonight
Written by Dawn Desiderio
To the tune of Blue Collar Man, written by Tommy Shaw
Give me house, give me a swimming pool
Give me a chance to show off
I'm just six numbers off from living what I dream
And last night I missed `em all
A chauffer, a speedboat, and trips `round the world
Financial security
When I win I'm gonna say good-bye to my job
To hell with all the O.T.
I play the Big Game, but I never win
Still I keep playing those six
It just takes one buck to be a millionaire
I'm gonna play the Big Game tonight
2,9,12,18,23
Oh God which numbers to choose?
With all that dough to win now why can't I decide
To play the 10 or 19?
I play the Big Game, but I never win
Still I keep playing those six
It just takes one buck to be a millionaire
I'm gonna play the Big Game tonight
Keepin my mind on a better car
And happiness is only a 14 away
Curacao, can it be all I heard it was?
Please let me win, and prove that it wouldn't spoil me
(dededededededede- I doooon't have a chaaaaaance)
I play the Big Game, but I never win
Still I keep playing those six
It just takes one buck to be a millionaire
I'm gonna play the Big Game tonight
[Repeat to fade]
Interpretation
In the spirit of the common man represented by the original Blue Collar Man, this tongue-in-cheek song represents the hopes of winning the lottery that many working-stiffs hold to get them through the workday.
