SCC 11 This week's genre and theme are as follows: Genre: Doo Wop, Rockabilly Theme: A song inspired by a Best Picture winner at the Oscars from the past 50 years. [Intro] Doo-doo-wah, doom-ba-da-doo-wah, Boom-boom-boom, doom-ba-da-doo-wah. Ooh, ahh, yeah. Spin that wheel, Lord, let me go, In this place, no mercy shows. [Verse ] Locked in a cell, the air’s so cold, The guard says, (“Boy, do what you’re told.”) A smoky room, a table bare, Six souls waiting, one despair. [Bridge] The wheel is spun, my hand’s so tight, Praying hard I’ll live tonight. The click of steel, the sound of dread, In this game, you flirt with death. [Chorus] Ohh, spin that wheel, let it ride, (Fate decides who says goodbye.) Round and round, it’s life or death, (The chamber waits with bated breath.) Ohh, spin that wheel, hear it sing, Praying hard for anything. One false move and it’s goodbye, In this prison, hope don’t fly. [Break] (Doo-wah, doo-wah), they’re calling my name. (Doo-wah, doo-wah), this ain’t no game. Snapping fingers, time moves slow, One last breath before it blows. [Verse] I see their faces, pale with fear, Brothers I’ve fought with year to year. We were soldiers, we were brave, Now we’re gamblers digging graves. [Bridge] The guard just laughs, says, (“Play your part,”) But every turn tears out your heart. I hear a prayer, soft and low, But in this game, no saviors show. [Chorus] Ohh, spin that wheel, let it ride, (Fate decides who says goodbye.) Round and round, it’s life or death, (The chamber waits with bated breath.) Ohh, spin that wheel, hear it sing, Praying hard for anything. One false move and it’s goodbye, In this prison, hope don’t fly.
