Gino Vannelli
Lucky Me
She was born in Chelsea with silver spoon in her mouth
She was young and rich
With a Mid-Atlantic pitch
A regular at the Soho House

Yeah that blue blooded babe
Made the top of the grade at finishing school
Most definitely the family crown jewel

Ask for me I was your everyday typical bicycle guide
I guess you might say this boy was even countrified
They popped right out of my head when I laid my eyes on her
Not knowing what kind of claptrap lay in my future

Lucky me
She came and went in a New York minute
Lucky me
It’s a beautiful world and I’m right back in it
The two best days in my life
One was finding her
The second one was losing her
Lucky me
Lucky, lucky, lucky me

So there I was a pauper in a beauty queen’s royal court
Somewhere twixt a motely fool and her favorite blood sport
Like a dog I was unawares of the poison in the meat
So I heaved, and I wretched, and I gagged
But I’m back on my feet
Yeah you might ask yourself why this guy’s on a roll
Well the simple answer is I found the lost dead to my soul
And now rain or shine
I feel just fine
I’m walking on air
I got my self respect
My heart in check
And she’s outta my hair

Lucky me
She came and went in a New York minute
Lucky me
It’s a beautiful world and I’m right back in it
The two best days in my life
One was finding her
The second one was losing her
Lucky me
Lucky, lucky, lucky me

Lucky me
Lucky, lucky, lucky me
Lucky, lucky, lucky me
Lucky, lucky, lucky me
