Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As I walk down the street
Seems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly hello
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
[Verse 2]
The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly
They sing wherever I go
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
[Verse 3]
If you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
I've have to confess that I'm slippin'
But that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
[Verse 4]
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know, oh baby
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
[Verse 5]
Yes
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know, oh yes,
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
