Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you consider
The highest bidder
Can't buy the gleam in your eye,
You're a lucky guy!
Thank your lucky star,
You've got a honey
She'll take you just as you are,
Thank your lucky star!
Hey fella,
Say fella,
Don't you realise
It's fated?
You rated,
Open up your eyes!
You're a lucky guy,
You're just beginning,
So have your inning
And let your troubles go fry!
No-one can deny
You're a lucky guy!
You're a lucky guy,
When you consider
The highest bidder
Can't buy the gleam in your eyes,
You're a lucky guy!
Thank your lucky star,
You've got a honey
Who wants no money,
She'll take you just as you are,
Thank your lucky star!
Hey fella,
Say fella,
Look at Mister Dough!

You're a lucky guy,
So why not treaure
Your highest pleasure
And live right up till you die?
No one can deny,
Boy, you're a lucky guy!
