I found a lucky penny I thought my luck would change Easy times and carefree days Would be mine again When I saw it shining Down in the dirt I bent down and picked it up Held it 'til it hurt Said I hope you're a lucky one Hope you're a lucky one I pray you're a lucky one I hope you're a lucky one I keep it with me all the time Ever near at hand When the world is closing in You take what you can Oh I hope you're a lucky one I hope you're a lucky one I pray you're a lucky one I hope you're a lucky one I found a lucky penny My superstitions failed Who am I fooling? Good fortune's not for sale Oh I hope you're a lucky one I hope you're a lucky one I pray you're a lucky one I hope you're a lucky one
