So, this week’s Musical Monday is an oldie but goodie that goes out to my hubby . . . Gambler by Madonna.
This past weekend, he competed and took 1st place in his first individual pool tournament! He walked in expecting to get knocked out in the first round, but kept winning . . . and quite possibly annoying all the other higher ranked players.

They never saw him coming! Hehe! My hubby, the pool shark!
Gambler, gambler
Chorus:
I’m a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I’ll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
‘Cause I’m a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeahDon’t want to say this but I think that I should
I’m better off forgotten if you think that I’d be good
One day you see me the next day I’m gone
Don’t fight me baby I don’t want to hold on
I’m a gambler, a gamblerYou’re not happy with the way I act
You better turn around boy, don’t look back
You’re getting angry, you know I can see
You’re just jealous ’cause you can’t be me(chorus)
Intermediate:
You can’t stop me now
‘Cause I’m right and I’m making advances
Let me show you how
Tonight, I’ll be taking my chances
On you, on you, on you, on you, that’s right babyI’m a gambler, gambler
You understand what I’m talking about?(chorus)
(intermediate)I’m a gambler, a gambler
Gambler, ’cause I’m a gamblerYou can’t stop me now
I’m on the road baby I know how
You can’t stop me now
Oh noYou can’t stop me now (repeat 3 times)
‘Cause I’m a gambler, yeah I’m a gambler
That’s right baby

I read all that and then thought ‘does he swim, does he dive????’ And THEN, with the song I clicked you didn’t mean “THAT” type of pool!!
wow – i barely remember this song! CONGRATS to your husband!! that’s super cool!!
Oops! You reminded me that I forgot to post a photo from the movie The Hustler!!
Wow, haven’t heard this in too long. Great song!
Well done hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it was a contest on who “couldn’t” hit the ball, I’d win him hands down though, so watch out for when I’m next over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Madonna is my Queen. I love her. And this was awesome. Thanks for stopping by my playground and have a great week
Aloha
