When I make a deal, you know I play for real
When I roll the dice, you gonna pay the price
I like to make my stance, I love to live a chance
So let em spin the wheel, throw on what I feel
Atlantic City Gambler is my name
Seeking out my fortune and my fame
Atlantic City Gambling is my game
And when it comes to win
I'll even chance on sin

Taking in my stride, then I let it ride
If I take a loss, you know I'm still the boss
When I'm on the track, you know I'm gonna hack
So let the games begin, I know I'm gonna win
Atlantic City Gambler is my name
Seeking out my fortune and my fame
Atlantic City Gambling is my game
And when it comes to chance
You know I'll even dance

When it comes to love
Wear a different glove
Matters of the heart
Takes a different slot
I'll be on my guard
So I won't fall too hard
To this there is no deal
It's got to be for real
