Performed by: Bob Dorough
Now you can call me lucky,'cause Lucky's my name
Singin'and dancin', that's my game
I never did a whole day's work in my life,
Still everything seems to turn out right
Like a grasshopper on a summer's day,
I just love to play
And pass the time away,
'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star
They said I'd go far
Makin' people happy, that's my favorite game
Lucky Seven is my natural name
Slippin' and slidin' my whole life through,
Still I get everything done that I got to do,
'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star
School is where you are?
Aw, that's not hard
Let me show you something
You multiply 7 x 1,
I got 7 days to get that problem done
Multiply 7 x 2,
Take 14 laughs When you're feeling blue
Multiply 7 x 3,
A 21 -day vacation you can play with me
Multiply 7 x 4,
You got 28 days (that's a one month more)
To pay the mortgage on your store
Don't worry Something will turn up!
Multiply 7 x 5,
I don't know how you did it, but man alive, that's 35
Multiply 7 x 6,
Grab a stick and make a 42 cliCkety-clicks
Multiply 7 x 7,
Take 49 steps right up to seventh heaven
Multiply 7 x 8,
They got 56 flavors and I just can't wait
Multiply 7 x 9,
63 musicians, all friends of mine
Multiply 7 x 10,
And that brings you right back to 70 again
You know, I think that's important
There's a trick there somewhere
Multiply 7 x 11,
Even a rabbit knows that's 70 plus 7
Multiply 7 x 12,
You got 84, and isn't that swell
I'm gonna try 7 x 13, just for fun,
70 plus 21
7x 14 must be great
Well, exactly, that's a 70 plus 28
7 x 15, man alive
That's 70 plus 35 105!
Man, this stuff is simple-no jive
You got it, now I gotta fly
Excuse me folks, I'm saying good-bye
I sure do thank you for the huckleberry pie
Take it home, boys
Remember Lucky Seven Sampson that's my
natural-born name if you should ask me again, I'd have
to tell you the same You'll wake up tomorrow, you'll be
glad that I came 'Cause you'll be singin' one of the
songs that I sang So keep a happy outlook and be
good to your friend, and maybe I'll pass this way again
Maybe!
Bye
