A million to one
The odds were against me
What could anyone do?
When the chances at you
Were a million to one

A shot in the dark
Is all I can show, dear
Is it tear and a sigh
The old college try
But it couldn't be done

I knew I'd never come out ahead
I should have quit but instead
I kept on playing (playing, playing, playing) just for fun

A million to one
Now I've learned my lesson
Never gamble again
When the chances to win
Were a million to one
A million to one
