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
