Verse:
Night time, day time,  I used to be blue;
But my Maytime,  Has started with you.
I will admit I've had some luck,  But it has always been bad!
Oh,  what dumb luck I've just had!
 
Chorus:
Oh,  Boy!  I'm lucky!  I'll say,  I'm lucky!
This is my lucky day!
Now,  I'm in clover,  I'm glad all over;
I want to shout "Hooray!"
I found a horseshoe,  Couldn't go wrong!
And then of course you happened along!
Oh,  Boy!  I'm lucky!  I'll say,  I'm lucky!
This is my lucky day.
