Lyrics
Pull up the flamingos<br />
Daddy won big at the bingo table<br />
Time to break out the pint of black label<br />
The lord works in mysterious ways<br />
<br />
Take down the velvets<br />
Of Jesus and Elvis<br />
I see a happy ending<br />
Somewhere on the road to Vegas<br />
<br />
The wheel of fortunes turning and there’s no turning back<br />
Let’s get while no one’s looking, saddle up the Cadillac<br />
<br />
We burned our bridges out in California<br />
We never got a star in Hollywood<br />
Now here we are living right next door to you<br />
There goes the neighborhood<br />
<br />
Pulling in to paradise<br />
With hula dolls and the dashboard dice<br />
With the bbq on the future looks bright<br />
The lord works in mysterious ways<br />
<br />
Coming on like a blind date<br />
All teeth and handshakes<br />
If all else fails we’ll put the peddle to the metal<br />
And follow the empties on the highway like Hansel and Gretel<br />
<br />
The wheel of fortunes turning we’ll all be kicking back<br />
Let’s get while the getting’s golden, find another sugar shack<br />
<br />
