Lucky Day

I’ve ripped a leaf off my lucky four leaf clover

My rabbit foot has gone and hopped away

I accidentally smashed my shaving mirror

And I’ve been stepping on the pavement cracks all day.

I’m not one for being superstitious

I always take life as it comes my way

I don’t want to tempt fate to be malicious

But when I’m with you it’s always a lucky day

*

Chorus

Lucky day… it’s a lucky day when I spend it with you girl

Lucky day… it’s a lucky day all shiny and new

Lucky day… it’s a lucky day when you’re living in my world

It’s always a lucky day when I spend it with you

*

Today I spilt some salt out of its cellar

I walked under a ladder for a laugh

I forgot to touch my jacket collar

When a black cat went and stepped across my path

Now I’m not one for cranky fortune tellers

My horoscope said bed’s the place to stay

But I’m ignoring everything they tell us

‘Cos when I’m with you it’s always a lucky day.

*

I only saw a solitary magpie

The horseshoe is now missing from my door Inside the house I opened up my brolly

I crossed you on the staircase walking up to the second  floor

I’m not being blasé ‘bout my chances

Dismissive in a really foolish way

But one thing that I know about romance is

When I’m with you it’s always a lucky day
