Lyrics

TAKE A RIDE
VERSE 1
Bring out the money gimmy that shoe, I'm gonna be a rich man how 'bout you?
Everybody's tokens down on Go, if you want to be the first then beat throw
Shake up good now, role those dice, if you throw doubles then you go twice
One more time and you land in jail, but do it once more and I make my bail

CHORUS
Take a ride on the Reading, across from B&O, get $200 whenever you pass Go
Stroll along the Boardwalk, Kentucky's on the way, if you land on New York, I'm the one you pay

VERSE 2
Take your chance boys open that chest, the parking is free if you need the rest
Ten more blocks down the monopoly trail, and the man in blue says back to jail
Little greenhouses side-by-side, big hotels where the rent is high
Build those buildings everywhere, but don't get hit for street repair

CHORUS
Take a ride on the Reading, across from B&O, get $200 whenever you pass Go
Stroll along the Boardwalk, Kentucky's on the way, if you land on New York, I'm the one you pay

VERSE 3
Times are tough and my doe is low, all I do is pay where ever I go
Gotta get lucky or I'm out of this race, we aught a be in jail it's the safest place

CHORUS
Take a ride on the Reading, across from B&O, get $200 whenever you pass Go
Stroll along the Boardwalk, Kentucky's on the way, if you land on New York, I'm the one you pay

CHORUS
Take a ride on the Reading, across from B&O, get $200 whenever you pass Go
Stroll along the Boardwalk, Kentucky's on the way, if you land on New York, I'm the one you pay
