Be My Luck
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was drunk and handsome
The world revolved around me
I don't know how she found me
But the bar stood still;
Drink in here on payday
The place would drive you crazy
Come over here and save me
Won't you say you will?
Here am I a free man
With nothing in the coffers
Open to offers
And I'm in my prime;
I'm too young to marry
Too old to mess about
Let me be your carry-out
At closing time
Be my luck and take the poor boy out of here
Be my luck forever and a day
Give me just one kiss and you can carry me away
Two moons are shining
Happiness is double
Hits you like the stubble
On a whisky kiss;
God bless the bouncers
And happy hour romances
Got to take your chances
In a life like this
Be my luck and take the poor boy out of here
Be my luck forever and a day
Give me just one kiss and you can carry me away
