Gamblers 'Request': Tribute to French Mathematicians B. Pascal and P. de Fermat
A humorous, theatrical folk-cabaret song with accordion, pizzicato violin, honky-tonk piano, and kazoo. Playful ragtime rhythm with exaggerated vocals, comical timing, and toy percussion. Include a dramatic spoken bridge over pizzicato strings and finish with a kazoo trill and big cymbal crash.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Once upon a time,
Gamblers made a fuss:
"Find us a way to win,
And stack the odds for us!"
Chorus
Luck doesn't work,
Math's the perk,
Pascal, Fermat went berserk!
Secrets cracked,
Cards unpacked,
World got flipped,
And that's a fact!
Verse2
Gamblers dreamed of gold,
Chasing easy pay,
Pascal and Fermat said:
"Probability is the way!"
Chorus
Luck doesn't work,
Math's the perk,
Pascal, Fermat went berserk!
Secrets cracked,
Cards unpacked,
World got flipped,
And that's a fact!
