50 Fifty

I'm flippin' a coin and I'm keepin' a tally
Heads is ahead but then tails starts to rally
I keep on goin', I'm gettin' 50 percent
You have to admit, this is money well spent
Some events are so rare that you just can't expect 'em
A long shot probably won't be selected
But once in a while, a long shot is
Or else you'd have to say that the chances are zip

Probability
Or the chances it will be
Flippin' coins and rollin' dice
You'll have to wait and see

Probability depends on the circumstances
If I figure 'em out, then I'll know the chances
Of something happenin', which will it be?
If I had to guess, I'd say it's one in three

Probability
Or the chances it will be
Flippin' coins and rollin' dice
You'll have to wait and see
