The FuMP

Lyrics

I swagger proud through the casino Past the penny slots and keno Got me a gig up here in Reno Blackjack! Never been much of a gambler I drive a 67 Rambler But my voice has an awesome timbre Blackjack! Everything is going great! I sing for the seniors from 5 till 8 My fans say I sound just like Frank Even when I'm tanked I dream of one day playing the big rooms With a big band in Vegas playing the big tunes Hanging with the hep cats and the mob goons Blackjack! One day my agent got a phone call Turns out old blue eyes took a bad fall so they asked me to fill in, man don't that beat all now Blackjack! Oh I'm goin' to Vegas baby! Now here I am living' out my dream On stage at the Sands with Sammy and Dean seems like I'm going over well but I can't really tell ... ah what the hell This dame comes up after the show, fine as can be says I really love the way you sing "Come Fly with Me" so I discreetly offered her my motel room key thats when a couple fellas in dark suits  started glaring at me ... soon after I began to wonder perhaps I'd made a fatal blunder  Then I got whacked behind a dumpster Whack! Whack! That was the end of my extraordinary life turns out the dame was the mob boss's wife ... (whoa! Uh-oh!) they pump me full of lead and down I fall I guess I'm not so lucky after all But When they counted all the bullet holes  there were 21 in all Blackjack!  And now I love performing nightly! Up here my star is shining brightly And me and Frank are hanging tightly At that great, casino in the sky!! Blackjack!
