Lyrics

As I walk down the street

seems ev ’ry one I meet

gives me a friend ly “Hel (G9)lo.”

(Gm)I (A7)guess I’m (D7)just a luck y so and so.

The birds in ev ’ry tree

are all so neigh bor ly

they sing wher ev er I (G9)go.

(Gm)I (A7)guess I’m (D7)just a luck y so and (G)so.

If you should (C7)ask me the a mount

(Gmaj7)in my bank ac count, I’d (C7)have to con fess that I’m (Gmaj7)slip pin’.

But (B7)that don’t wor ry me,

(E7)con fi den tial ly, I’ve got a (A7)dream

that’s a (Am7)pip pin.

And when the day is through

each night I hur ry to

a home where love waits, I (G9)know

(Gm)I (A7)guess I’m (D7)just a luck y so and so.

As I walk down the street

seems ev ’ry one I meet

gives me a friend ly “Hel (G9)lo.”

(Gm)I (A7)guess I’m (D7)just a luck y so and so.

The birds in ev ’ry tree

are all so neigh bor ly

they sing wher ev er I (G9)go.

(Gm)I (A7)guess I’m (D7)just a luck y so and (G)so.

If you should (C7)ask me the a mount

(Gmaj7)in my bank ac count, I’d (C7)have to con fess that I’m (Gmaj7)slip pin’.

But (B7)that don’t wor ry me,

(E7)con fi den tial ly, I’ve got a (A7)dream

that’s a (Am7)pip pin.

And when the day is through

each night I hur ry to

a home where love waits, I (G9)know

(Gm)I (A7)guess I’m (D7)just a luck y so and so.
