Don't want a four leaf clover Don't want an old horse shoe Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss With a good luck charm like you Come on and be my little good luck charm Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight I want a good luck charm A-hanging on my arm To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight Don't want a silver dollar Rabbit's foot on a string The happiness in your warm caress No rabbit's foot can bring Come on and be my little good luck charm Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight I want a good luck charm A-hanging on my arm To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight I found a lucky penny I'd toss it across the bay Your love is worth all the gold on earth No wonder that I say Come on and be my little good luck charm Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight I want a good luck charm A-hanging on my arm To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight.
