O Lucky Man!

If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely -

You are a lucky man!

If you've found the reason to live on and not to die -

You are a lucky man!

Preachers and poets and scholars don't know it

Temples and statues and steeples won't show it

If you've got the secret just try not to blow it -

Stay a lucky man!

If you've found the meaning of the truth in this old world-

You are a lucky man!

If knowledge hangs around your neck like pearls instead of chains -

You are a lucky man!

Takers and fakers and talkers won't tell you

Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you

When no one can tempt you with heaven or hell-

You'll be a lucky man!
