Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now, see here, Mr. Smith
Or whatever your name may be
You seem like a pretty nice guy
So I'd like you to listen to me
[Verse 2]
I don't want to butt into your business, but
I've heard you complain a lot
About all the bad luck you've had
And the good luck that others have got
[Verse 3]
I'd say you're a little mistaken
You've had plenty of luck, my friend
I think you should open your eyes
And discover your country again
[Verse 4]
Hey, you're a lucky fellow, Mr. Smith (Mr. Smith)
To be able to live as you do (Do, do)
And to have that swell Ms. Liberty gal
Carryin' the torch for you
[Verse 5]
You're a lucky fellow, Mr. Smith
[Verse 6]
Look around you if you want to brag
You should thank your lucky stars, and I mean
Thank all fifty in your flag
[Verse 7]
And you've really got a family tree
With Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Lee
You're lucky to have ancestors like that
Don't you know you were born with a feather in your hat?
[Verse 8]
You're a very, very wealthy gent
[Verse 9]
I don't care if you haven't a cent
You can still have things your own way
On each election day
[Verse 10]
If some poor suckers could choose, they'd like to be in your shoes
That proves that your good fortune's no myth
You're a lucky fellow, Mr. Smith
[Verse 11]
You are a lucky fellow, Mr. Smith (Mr. Smith)
To be able to swing like you do (Do, do)
And to have that swell Ms. Liberty gal
Carryin' the torch for you
[Verse 12]
You're a lucky fellow, Mr. Smith
[Verse 13]
Look around you if you want to brag
You should thank your lucky stars, and I mean
There are fifty in your flag
[Verse 14]
Boy, you're rolling in a lot of wealth
Your speech is free, yessiree, you've got your health
Sure, we've got our health, and tell me, why not?
Take a look at the great constitution that we've got
[Verse 15]
You're a very, very wealthy gent
[Verse 16]
I don't care if you haven't a cent
You can still have things your own way
On each election day
[Verse 17]
You're blushing red, white, and blue, but, buddy, that's alright too
Because those colors look good on you
You're a fortunate fellow (Yes, a fortunate fellow)
And privileged person (Such a privileged person)
You're a lucky fellow, Mr. Smith
