I found a lucky penny
so 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 till it hurt
said 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 keep it with me all the time
ever near at hand
when the world is closing in
you take what you can
said 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
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
