Family members, it’s a shame I never met ya. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get ‘em easy, no jerk, call the Psychic Network, dial 800, she will
Say. What’s the way to San Jose? I am just a common fella, let
Me talk to the fortune teller, crystal ball, what you gotto, pick me
Six for my lotto! I’m gonna win, I’m gonna win, I’m gonna win,
The lottery.
I’m gonna get a brand new car, with stereo TV and bar, fax and
Email, cellular, room to crank up my guitar. Do not say, you ain’t
Able, to fit in my billiard table, then the sauna, then the cable,
Backeat is a polo stable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A new house, for my wife, we been dreamin all our life. Six
Blocks long. Long 40 acre spread, have to take a cab from the bath to
The bed. My wife thinks of her family, a woman of generosity.

The Lottery
Hamell, guitars & vox; Dare, bass; Andy Kravitz, drums; Jeneen Terrana
& Linda Guyette, background vox. Recorded at Studio 4 in
Conshohocken, PA. Produced by Phillip Nowlan. Engineered by Dirk
Grobelny & Mike “Bones” Malak. Background vox recorded in Hamell’s basement.
Worth a listen even if you have only heard his most popular songs. Lawyers, Guns and Money is not here but he does talk about former Govenor Jess Ventura singing Werewolves of London so that's a bonus. timchuma
