Lucky Lips
Gale Storm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Lucky lips, lucky lips)
(Lucky lips, lucky lips)

When I was just a little girl
With long, silky curls
My mama told me, honey
You've got more that other girls
Now, you may not be good looking
But you'll still wear diamond clips
And you'll never have to worry
'Cause you've got lucky lips

[CHORUS]
Lucky lips are always kissin'
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips that will be true

[VERSE]
I don't need a four leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm
With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms

(With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms)

I'll never get heartbroken
No, I'll never get the blues
And if I play that game of love
I know I just can't lose

When they spin' that wheel of fortune
All I do is kiss my chips
And I know I picked a winner
'Cause I've got lucky lips

[Repeat CHORUS]

[Repeat VERSE]

(Lucky lips, lucky lips)




With lucky lips I'll always have
A fellow in my arms

Best version I have heard of this song.  A very good singer and very good at
singing rhythm and blues.  And hey, back in those days popular songs were
recorded by a whole lot of other singers. Charlie Gracie´s million-seller, "Butterfly",
was copied by Andy Williams (who also sold a million), but also by the old big-band singer Bob Carroll, who also scored a minor hit with "Butterfly" only going as high as no.61. Bill Allen also recorded the song as well as Billy Williams who himself was a black singer. Record companies wanted their own versions of popular songs. Gale Storm, Bill Haley, Pat Boone and Elvis Presley are often accused to be stealing black peoples songs but that was not the case. Fats Domino even thanked Pat Boone in public because Pat´s version of "Ain´t That A Shame" had paid the diamond ring Domino wore on one of his fingers. And black record people could ask white record companies to cut their songs in order to make their songs popular.
