Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Struck by lightning

Sounds pretty frightening

But you know the chances

Are so small

Stuck by a bee sting

Nothing but a bee thing

Better chance you're gonna buy it

At the mall

[Verse 2]

But it's a twenty-three, four-to-one

That you can fall in love

By the end of this song

So get up, get up

Tell the bookie, put a bet up

Not a damn thing will go wrong

[Verse 3]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right, tonight

[Verse 4]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

For another night

[Verse 5]

Hit by the A-train

Crashed in an airplane

I wouldn't recommend either one

Killed by a Great White

Or a meteorite

I guess there ain't no way to go

That's fun

[Verse 6]

But somewhere in the world

Someone is gonna fall in love

By the end of this song

So get up, get up

No it's never gonna let up

So you might as well sing along

[Verse 7]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right, tonight

[Verse 8]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

For another night

[Verse 9]

Sure things go wrong

But I'll take my chances

Odds are long

So why not play

[Verse 10]

Struck by lightning

Sounds pretty frightening

But you know the chances

Are so small

Hit by the A-train

Crashed in an airplane

Better chance you're gonna buy it

At the mall

[Verse 11]

But it's a twenty-three, a four-to-one

That you can fall in love

By the end of this song

So get up, get up

No I'm never gonna let up

So you might as well sing along

[Verse 12]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right, tonight

[Verse 13]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right, tonight

[Verse 14]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right, tonight

[Verse 15]

The odds are that we

Will probably be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

Odds are we gonna be all right

For another night
