Never the luck and never the lead
And never you mind they say
In time we all taste the lime in the light
And I'll have my night some day
Still each precious part seems over and done
Before I 've begun to speak
I cast out my line, and keep my hand in
Still I'll not stand in this week

Some starless night
They'll call towards the wings
"Who here dances and sings?"
That's when your truly springs
And seeing me then they'll reply
"Why he knows each line
and everyone's cue
We must let him do the part"
I'll leap centerstage,
the music will play
I'll waltz my way into your heart

Ever I plan and ever I plot
With ever the pluck to try
I wait for my star by fate to be struck
But never the luck have I
