The rain it has arrived at last for which we had waited The hawkers have packed up their stands Nothing to be traded The soviets beside the quay run to the freighters The terrace of the rex hotel is closed by the waiters We need you, oh lucky jim Where have you gone? Oh lucky jim The mistress has left her home Back to the dances The smoking dens are starting up for life's own enhancing Nobody goes to the war coz there's none to go to We just sit around in cafés bored, sit waiting for you We need you, oh lucky jim Where have you gone? Oh lucky jim Why did you ever go up north? It is not for you They'll strip your little weak heart clean What will you do? The australians in a bunny bar are waiting your return Everyone wants a piece of you, a piece of you to burn We need you, oh lucky jim Where have you gone? Oh lucky jim We miss you here Oh lucky jim Where have you gone? Oh lucky jim
