And if you pull a double one I’ll pack may bags and I’ll be gone If you pull a three and four I’m flying off to Singapore Where women dance and tigers roar I’m lying on a distant shore I’m living life as fast as I can nod wink another drink I the domino man. Through a twenty deep screen of humorists Through slavering jaws and angry fists Through tales of mishap and the clickety-clack Is a fully paid memeber of the brother of the tap Through heavy smoke and idle bets Through heaving lungs and heavy debts Sits a man who knows he can nod wink I the domino man. And if you pull a two and six I’ll pack my bags and take the risk And if you pull a four and five They’ll never take this man alive I’ll go far east and I’ll survive The market streets I’ll duck and dive I’m living life as fast as I can nod wink another drink I the domino man. And when he’s off to sail the seven seas He just stays indoors or hides up trees He’s been to places that you’ve never seen But his mind is blank and his passport’s clean And if you pull a two and six I’ll pack my bags and take the risk And if you pull a four and five They’ll never take this man alive I’ll go far east and I’ll survive The market streets I’ll duck and dive I’m living life as fast as I can nod wink another drink I the domino man.

La chanson présente un homme qui se distingue des autres, assis dans un bar en attendant un signe pour changer de vie. À travers des images évocatrices, il parle de ses rêves d'évasion vers des pays exotiques, tout en étant coincé dans un quotidien terne. Il utilise les dés comme métaphore de son destin, évoquant des risques à prendre et des départs possibles, mais en même temps, il reste prisonnier d'une existence répétitive, malgré ses aspirations d’aventure et d'intensité. Le cadre de la chanson semble être un bar, un lieu fréquenté par des hommes aux regards froids, symbolisant l’ennui et la monotonie. C'est un univers où l'humour masque souvent des désespoirs et des dettes, illustrant le contraste entre les rêves d'évasion et la réalité grise de la vie quotidienne. L'homme, bien qu'aspirant à la liberté, reste dans une sorte de ballottage, partagé entre intoxications et espoirs fuyants.
