Lucky

[NELLIE, spoken]
Oh Miss Jane, ain't no use of worryin'! Floyd's got the luck; it circles 'round him. He told me so! He maybe told you one bad dream, but he done tol' me hundreds of good'uns.​

He says to me, "It's gonna turn out just like a fairytale Nell." He holds me right in his hands and says to me:

(sung)
Lucky's what I am
Ain't no sucklin' baby lamb
Sure as hell don't give a damn
For what they think 'bout me

Lucky, in his way
Buzzin' in my gut today
Like a choir of crickets singin'
We're gonna sell some tickets, singin':

How's about a radio?
How's about a new car, y'know?
How's about a valley farm?
How's about a boy on my arm?
Gonna git a little respect
Gonna hold our heads up erect
Gonna show 'em what we got;
Show 'em what we will take
And will not now
And what we got now
Is a lot now

No, no, don't you fret;
I ain't told you nothing yet
We gonna sing a cave duet
Inside a magic dome

'Cause being near to him
I know I'm truly lucky
Now that I've come home

[MISS JANE, spoken]
But when dreams talk, Nellie, you best heed' em. You listenin' to me? You learn to doubt things. You don't fool with dreams like that.​

[NELLIE, sung]
Doubtin' never did us any good
Why'd you wanna fill us up with doubt?
Doubtin' never did us, no, not one lick of good;
Why don't you just help us out
Like you should?

Oh, let us dream some

[MISS JANE]
Go an' dream

[NELLIE]
Let us scheme a caving scheme
If what he says is there, is there
And God is good
And fair is fair

We're sittin' on a pile of dough
Higher than a grain silo!

[MISS JANE]
Think of all the lofty ways
Think of all the lazy days...

[NELLIE]
We could take a trip somewhere...

[MISS JANE]
Anywhere at all, I don't care

[NELLIE]
Git me in a Model A
I could roll the whole day away, now

[MISS JANE]
You don't say now!

[NELLIE]
Let's pray now:

[NELLIE & MISS JANE]
Good news 'round the bend;
Trouble days is gonna end

[MISS JANE]
Even broken hopes'll mend
'Cause things ain't what they seem

[MISS JANE]
So lonesome Nellie girl
My little pearl
My dreamer:
Dream
[NELLIE]
Ooo....
Ooo....
Ooo....
Ooo, how I love to dream...
[MISS JANE & NELLIE]
'Cause you've (I've) come home
And I feel lucky!
Lucky!
Lucky!
