Lyrics Lucky Me - Joe Brown, Henry Gross

Lucky Me

The waitress asks me if I’m famous
I say no, but I’m hungry
She says the eggs are cold, the toast is burnt
The bacon’s mostly fat and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
Nowhere to stay I ring a doorbell
The landlord looks me up and down and says
The walls are thin, the rooms are cramped
There’s no place to hang your hat, and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
'Cause every day I play it straight
I never tempt the hand of fate
In a world of give and take
I take what’s given
I find a gypsy fortune teller
In a run down shack across the tracks
She says money isn’t in the cards
Hard work’ll break your back, and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
Standing at the gates of heaven
Saint Peter smiles at me and says
The food is great, the hotel’s grand
Your bags have been unpacked, and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
Lucky me, I like it like that
