Claw Machine

 In the Arcade lights flicker and glow

Winning Tickets, it’s the thrill of the show
Claw machines with prizes galore

Luck needed to find the trap door

Excitement and challenges, our hearts beating fast,
Pokémon cards and teddies, oh, let’s make this last.
Hanging onto dreams, we’re ready to try,
To grab it and win it, instead of to buy.

A chance to shine, with hope to collect,
Winning the prize, could feel so perfect,
The neon flash, tempting us with cash,
Spitting out  tickets, to add to the stash.


Counting up tickets, we laugh, let us play,
One more try and we’re done for the day.
A hundred I see on the machine over there,
Quickly put in the coins, we’re winning, I swear.

Oh no! You cry as the claw reaches down,
Drops what we thought was our treasured crown.
But oh no again, another coin in,
Almost got it but drops back once again.

A chance to shine, with hope to collect,
By winning the prize, could feel so perfect,
The neon flash, tempting us with cash,
Spitting out  tickets, to add to the stash.


Feelings we had when we first began,
Dwindled and faded, like a holiday tan.
But we won’t give up on those beautiful days,
The ones in the sunshine and in the arcade.

Chase every dream that may come our way,
Collecting memories, oh yeah fun to play

With laughter and cheer, we’ll dance through the night,
Each ticket a promise, every prize just looks right

Taking chances with hope on our side
The Arcade games we take in our stride.

So here’s to the joy and here’s to the fun,

Top prizes will never be won
Tickets, rings, and claw machines, 

Candy floss and lots of sweet things

A chance to shine, with hope to collect,
By winning the prize, could feel so perfect,
The neon flash, tempting us with cash,
Spitting out  tickets, to add to the stash.


So let’s keep on playing, let’s laugh at the clown
With tickets, rings, and claw machines in seaside town
The Promenade arcade, together we’ll thrive,
With every coin push we feel so alive.
