Keep the dice rolling

Keep the dice rolling

Blow on them

Shake them

But whatever you do 

Keep the dice rolling

The board is here

To guide you on 

Be it Monopoly

Snakes and Ladders

Or le Jeu de l'Oie

Each square is a step onwards

Of course sometimes 

You'll get stuck,

Fall down, roll backwards

Or even take a short cut

But the rules still apply

Keep the dice rolling

On your way

You may get rich or poor

Healthy or sickly

It does not matter

Keep the dice rolling

In the end life is but a game.
