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!
