Lyrics

Lucky

[Chorus]

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

[Pre-verse]

Lucky, lucky… lucky (x5)

[Verse 1]

Hip hip hooray

I'm in my big black holiday

No bulls died today

There just ain’t that much left to say

The sun rose today

To a very unappreciative earth and sky

The land is recoiled

Asking as if it had said why

[Verse 2]

My ship leaves today

And I'm safely lowered away

Guess who I walked into

Guess who walked right up to say

A bloody nose and a bloody knife

Now I've disposed of my routine life

All seemed to implore seconds more

Give me more of this sublime night

[Chorus]

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

This little penny is to dream on

To make all your wishes come true

[Outro]

Lucky, lucky… lucky (x10)
