When I was just a little baby I didn't have many toys But my mama used to say, "Son You got more than other boys Now you may not be good looking And you may not be too rich But you'll never, ever be alone 'Cause you've got lucky lips" Lucky lips are always kissin' Lucky lips are never blue Lucky lips will always find A pair of lips so true Don't need a four-leaf clover Rabbit's foot or a good luck charm With lucky lips you'll always have A baby in your arms Now, I never get heartbroken No, I never get the blues And if I play that game of love I know I just can't lose When they spin that wheel of fortune All I do is kiss my chips And I know I'm bound to win, yeah 'Cause I've got lucky lips Lucky lips are always kissing Lucky lips are never blue Lucky lips will always find A pair of lips so true Don't need a four-leaf clover Rabbit's foot or good luck charm With lucky lips you'll always have A baby in your arms Oh, lucky lips are always kissing (oh, those lucky lips) Lucky lips are never blue (oh, those lucky lips) Lucky lips will always find (oh, those lucky lips) A love that's true (oh, those lucky lips) I don't need a four-leaf clover Rabbit's foot or good luck charm With lucky lips you'll always have A baby in your arms
