Lyrics

What are the odds of anyone falling in love?
Poker and twenty-one are tough enough
Like a horse who couldn't place
Winning in nothing flat
Suddenly I'm in the race
What's the chance of that?

Maybe it's just an ordinary day
But I'm not lettin' this good one get away
Who knows when we'd meet again?
We're here in spite o' the stats
Now what are the chances of that?

Mindin' my own, I tell you business was good
Standin' in line I knew just where I stood
I looked around and I found you
Jumpin' Jehosephat! Alt: I knew right off the bat
A fairytale is comin' true
What's the chance of that?

Maybe it's just an ordinary day
But I'm not lettin' this good one get away
Actuaries scratch their heads
And have to digest their hats
Now what are the chances of that?

Last time: Actuaries scratch their heads
And have to digest their hats
'Cause out of the blue, Love
Came wonderful new love
And what are the chances of that?
