  • Words by joni mitchell
  • Music by charles mingus
  • Im down to a roll of dimes
  • Im stalking the slot thats hot
  • I keep hearing bells all around me
  • Jingling in the lucky jackpots
  • They keep you tantalized
  • They keep you reaching for your wallet
  • Here in fools paradise!
  • I talked to a cat from des moines
  • He said he ran a cleaning plant
  • That cat was clanking with coin
  • Well, he must have had a genie in a lamp
  • cause every time--i dropped a dime--i blew it
  • He kept ringing bells
  • Nothing to it!
  • He got three oranges
  • Three lemons
  • Three cherries
  • Three plums
  • Im losing my taste for fruit
  • Watching the dry cleaner do it
  • Like midas in a polyester suit
  • Its all luck!
  • Its just luck!
  • You get a little lucky and you make a little money!
  • I followed him down the strip
  • He picked out a booth at circus circus
  • Where the cowgirls fill the room
  • With their big balloons
  • The cleaner was pitching with purpose!
  • He had dinos and pooh bears
  • And lions--pink and blue there
  • He couldnt lose there!
  • Des moines was stacking the chips
  • Raking off the tables
  • Ringing the bandits bells
  • This is a story thats a drag to tell
  • (in some ways)
  • Since I lost every dime
  • I laid on the line
  • But the cleaner from des moines
  • Could put a coin
  • In the door of a john
  • And get twenty for one
  • Its just luck!
