I've had luck all through my life It's all been bad I'm a man with some bad luck Always had bad luck Never had a stroke of good luck in my life In fact, I'm the unluckiest man in the world In fact, just the other day I went out to eat, ordered a chicken They brought it to me a little undercooked It flew right off my plate Yessir, I've been wined, dined and fined all about it I've been cried to, lied to and taken for a ride I've been flagpoled, manholed, sliced, diced and sacrificed The Lord said come forth and you will receive eternal life But I came fifth, and I got a toaster Yes, I've been sandbagged, manhandled, panhandled Been hijacked, ransacked, been busted by the ones I trusted Oh boy I'm telling ya, you wouldn't believe my luck I've got the measles, mumps, malaria, meningitis, monkey pox, and rubella And I had the shots for all six of 'em Went fishin' by the creek, threw my pole out there for awhile Didn't catch nothin' but a rubber boot, a tin can, a tire and a book of cliches I didn't catch a wiggle for forty days and forty nights On the forty first, I's packin' up when I catch me a big ol' bull shark Land shark Reeled him in and he jumps out of the water, hops and hits the ground a'runnin' His mouth a'waterin', his teeth a'chompin', his eyes a'buggin', me a'flyin' Other day, I met a leprechaun Turned out it was just a short man with a beard He was Irish But he didn't have no gold an' he wasn't too friendly neither Actually he robbed me of the only dollar I had Bad, bad luck Last Friday, the 13th of the month, I was planning for a picnic As I was gettin' ready, it started to rain I figured I'd have one anyway Opened up my umbrella before I went outside Bolt of lightning came right through the ceiling, struck me hard Shocked me from my head down to my toes Then as I's walkin' to my picnic hill, I threw a rock in the wind Musta been a boomerang cause it came right back and knocked me out cold Passed a flock of ravens, thirteen black cats and a coyote on the way Each one stealing a little bit of food from me I got to the hill for my picnic and I didn't have any food Just a little shaker of salt It tipped over and spilled everywhere Bad luck follows me all around Why, I was gettin' ready for a date the other day Looked in the mirror, I thought I was lookin' sharp Guess a little too sharp The mirror broke Cracked and shattered Went on my way walkin' down the street to meet my date When a shiny penny catches my eye I went to pick up the penny, I heard something above me Look up and sure enough it's a bank safe An' I went splat Got up, brushed myself off Kept on goin' I slipped on a banana peel an' I went wheelin' down the street Went sliding under a ladder, there was a painter up there Dropped his can of red paint on my head Splashed me with red all over A great big bull was passin' by, caught eye of me And came chargin' at me full steam ahead Gore'd me into next Tuesday Well, I figured out my father died and the very same day I learned I have a twin Turns out, in his will, he left all his belongings to him He's something else lemme tell ya First day I spent with my twin He found eleven horseshoes Fifteen rabbit's foots A hundred lucky pennies Had seven ladybugs land on his nose Won nine million dollars at the casino Found a four leaf clover in his salad And saw a shooting star in the middle of the day with his address on it No, I sure don't have good luck But you know the funny thing about luck It doesn't work so well when you're dead I learned that when I saw that shooting star of my brother's Come land on his head
