Lucky

[NELLIE, spoken] Oh Miss Jane, it's no use of worryin' Floyd's got the luck, it circles 'round him Maybe he's told you one bad dream But he's told me hundreds of good ones He says to me, "It's gonna turn out just like a fair day, Nell" He holds me right in his hands and says to me [NELLIE] "Lucky's what I am Ain't no sucklin' baby lamb Sure as hell don't give a damn For what they think 'bout me" Lucky, in his way Buzzin' in my gut today Like a choir of crickets singin' We're gonna sell some tickets, singin' How's about a radio? How's about a new car, you know? How's about a valley farm? How's about a boy on my arm? Gonna get a little respect Gonna hold our heads up erect Gonna show 'em what we got Show 'еm what we will take And will not now And what we got now Is a lot now No, no, don't you frеt We ain't told you nothin' yet We gonna sing a cave duet Inside a magic dome 'Cause bein' near to him I know I'm truly lucky Now that I've come home [MISS JANE, spoken] But when dreams talk, you best heed them You shouldn't fool with dreams like that, Nellie You have to let them change how you see things [NELLIE] Doubtin' never did us any good Why you wanna fill us up with doubt? Doubtin' never did us, no, not one lick of good Why don't you just help us out Like you should? Oh, let us dream some [MISS JANE] Go and dream [NELLIE] Let us scheme a cavin' scheme If what he says is there, is there And God is good and fair is fair We're sittin' on a pile of dough Higher than a grain silo [MISS JANE] Think of all the lofty ways Think of all the lazy days [NELLIE] We could take a trip somewhere [MISS JANE] Anywhere at all, I don't care [NELLIE] Get me in a Chevrolet I could roll the whole day away, now [MISS JANE] You don't say now [NELLIE] Let's pray now [NELLIE & MISS JANE] Good news 'round the bend Trouble days is gonna end [MISS JANE] Even broken hopes'll mend 'Cause things ain't what they seem [MISS JANE & NELLIE] So lonesome Nellie girl (Ooh) My little pearl (Ooh) My dreamer (Ooh) Dream (Ooh, how I love to dream) [MISS JANE & NELLIE] 'Cause you've / I've come home And I feel lucky! Lucky! Lucky!
