My Lucky Pants Failed Me Again

Touch wood
Thank my lucky stars
Kiss the new born babe
Today the flowers leap from the vase
Swerving round ladders
Not stepping on the cracks
The sheep will cheer me on with their baas

Magpies
Give me two for joy
I won't need a ploy
Today this big boy takes the prize
I've got clover with four leaves
It's my time to achieve
You can see victory in my eyes

But sometimes the demise
Sometimes the world lies
My hopes down the drain
My lucky pants failed me again

Black cats
They won't cross my path
I will do this my love
I'll high five the neighbours as I go
Seize the bull by the horns
Give me fortune in all forms
The greatest day the world will ever know

I'm a charm
Like a lovely genghis khan
I'll spread it near and far
They'll say all the smiles descend from me
Touch my elbow if you can
If you're happy hold my hand
I'm the greatest optimist in the sea

But sometimes the demise
Sometimes the world lies
My hopes down the drain
My lucky pants failed me again
Lucky pants failed me again
Lucky pants failed me again
Lucky pants failed me
