VP Themesong?

#1

Listening to the song "In the Jailhouse Now" it occured to me that,
with some minor tweaks, it could serve as VP's themesong ... not that
we need one! Anyway, these are the first two verses. Only the last
line in each verse is changed. I hope most of you know the melody.

I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's playing VP now

Yodel...

He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker
But shooting dice was his greatest game
Now he's downtown in jail ... nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused a fine
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's playing VP now

Brumar,

I've been having a lot of fun putting lyrics from actual songs about
gambling, winning, losing etc., into my articles on Midwest Casino
Guide for sometime now. Here's one that I am going to try to fit in
somewhere in the future.

Group: The Eels
Album: "With Strings Live At Town Hall"
Song: "Losing Streak"

"Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton
Lifted off my shoulders now
My losing streak is done

Always felt like giving in
To the feeling I can't win
But I took it on the chin
Now I'm finally cashing in

Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done"

Terrence " VP Pappy" Murphy

   "The danger of thinking that you are very smart, is that you
probably won't study the games enough."
              --VP Pappy

Listening to the song "In the Jailhouse Now" it occured to me

that,

with some minor tweaks, it could serve as VP's themesong ... not

that

we need one! Anyway, these are the first two verses. Only the

last

line in each verse is changed. I hope most of you know the

melody.
