THE IDLE RACE, Lyrics:
Lucky Man.

I'm very lucky I think you'll agree

I've lost the key to my front door
I can't get in there anymore, oh my
I've lost the key to my love's heart
It's down the drain and in the dark, oh my

I'm very lucky I think you'll agree

As I was riding home from work
I saw a robber steal a shirt, oh my
I shouted "Oi!" and yelled "Stop! Thief!"
The policeman booked me for disturbing the peace, oh my

I'm very lucky I think you'll agree

As I was swimming in the sea
I came across a bomb or three, oh my
I took them to the coast guard man
He said "Hurry up and get that...", oh my

I'm very lucky I think you'll agree

I've lost the key to my front door
I can't get in there anymore, oh my
I've lost the key to my love's heart
It's down the drain and in the dark, oh my

I'm very lucky I think you'll agree...
