Judy
Chasing Fortunes: A Musical Tale of Hope and Doubles
Lyrics
Judy and me, every week
Judy and I used to participate in the weekly lottery together.
Would buy a ticket for the Wednesday night lottery
We'd consistently purchase tickets for the Wednesday night lottery.
She'd pick the numbers, I'd pick it up
Judy would choose the numbers, and I would collect the ticket.
Would it feel different if I was holding the winning one?
I wonder if winning would feel different if I held the winning ticket.
What would you buy?
Asking about desires if we won the lottery.
I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice
I'd buy a ticket for Thursday's lottery, aiming to win twice.
Judy and me, every week
Judy and I kept ordering drinks until the lottery numbers were announced.
Would order doubles 'til the numbers were released
We'd continue ordering more drinks until the winning numbers were revealed.
I wanted to pick them one week
I wanted to choose the numbers for once.
But I swore that'd be the week that they pick her numbers
I feared that if I chose the numbers that week, they would pick Judy's numbers instead.
What would you buy?
Reiteration of asking about desires if we won the lottery.
I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice
I'd buy an additional ticket for Thursday's lottery, aiming to win twice.
Judy and me, every time
Judy and I always got our hopes up a bit too much.
Would get our hopes up a little too high
We'd become overly optimistic about winning.
Judy and me would squint our eyes to read the numbers
We'd strain our eyes to see the numbers and then console ourselves by saying "maybe next time."
And say, "maybe next time"
We'd express hope for a future win when the current numbers didn't match.
What would you buy?
Repeated question about desires if winning occurred.
I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night
Expressing the intent to buy a ticket for the Thursday night lottery.
What would you buy?
Reiteration of the question about desires if winning occurred.
I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice
Stating the intention again to buy a ticket for Thursday's lottery, aiming to win twice.
