Step inside, don’t be shy, let the velvet ropes divide Where the gold runs deep and the secrets never slide I built this palace with a wish and a tune Now the dice roll smooth enough to make you swoon Used to only sing the streets and seedy dive bars Now my name’s in lights, written brighter than the stars You might’ve heard a story or two passing by… But in my house, baby, truth don’t testify Luck’s on my side at the Golden Giza tonight Cards on the table, everything feels right From the high-roller kings to the lowdown dreamers too When you play in my kingdom, the house plays you Hear the saxophone cry while the chips stack high Every smile’s a gamble, every glance a lie I shake a thousand hands, but I hold ‘em loose ‘Cause every friend’s a favor and every favor’s got a noose They say I know some people, they say I keep ‘em close But don't listen to the rumors, baby, I'm the perfect host I don’t deal in rumors, I deal in what you see— A little charm, a little song… and a touch of destiny Luck’s on my side at the Golden Giza tonight Spin that wheel, watch it sparklin' in the light From the velvet back rooms to the VIP view When you play in my kingdom, the house plays you I'll croon you a melody, soft as sin While the sharks all circle sippin' whiskey and gin I wrote all the rhythms, I set the pace Every card I'm holdin’ is a perfect ace Now don’t go askin’ who I know… You just enjoy the show. I got a voice like velvet and a will like steel And a knack for knowin’ just how luck should feel So raise your glass and let the night unfold Every story’s better when it’s dipped in gold Luck’s on my side at the Golden Giza tonight Hearts on the line under chandelier light You can win a fortune or lose your point of view But remember, sweetheart… the house plays you
