When the wheel turn around
And your number comes up
You can trade in your pencils
And your little tin cup
You can get up off your knees
You can get up off your back
When they hand you the keys
To the big Cadillac
When your money turns green
And your inside's straight
You'll have kings and queens
You'll have aces backed with eights
And when your flush gets filled
With a one-eyed jack
It's gonna be a thrill
In the big Cadillac
Now you can buy that gun
With a trigger you can pull it
You know the pearl-handled one
That shoots silver bullets
At the shadows in the night
When the wheel turn around
And you're the head of the class
Now you can drive uptown
Behind your tinted glass
Wear your bullet-proof vest
With the b***ons down the back
You got to look your best
In the big Cadillac
And your number comes up
You can trade in your pencils
And your little tin cup
You can get up off your knees
You can get up off your back
When they hand you the keys
To the big Cadillac
When your money turns green
And your inside's straight
You'll have kings and queens
You'll have aces backed with eights
And when your flush gets filled
With a one-eyed jack
It's gonna be a thrill
In the big Cadillac
Now you can buy that gun
With a trigger you can pull it
You know the pearl-handled one
That shoots silver bullets
At the shadows in the night
When the wheel turn around
And you're the head of the class
Now you can drive uptown
Behind your tinted glass
Wear your bullet-proof vest
With the b***ons down the back
You got to look your best
In the big Cadillac
