Lucky Seven Sampson

Bob Dorough

Intro: Now you can call me Lucky, because Lucky's my name Singing and dancing, that's my game I never did a whole day's work in my life Still everything seems to turn out right Like a grasshopper on a summer's day I just love to play And pass the time away Because I was born beneath a lucky star They said I'd go far Making people happy, that's my favorite game Lucky Seven is my natural name Slipping and sliding my whole life through Still I get everything done that I got to do Because I was born beneath a lucky star School is where you are? Aw, that's not hard Let me show you something You multiply seven times one I got seven days to get that problem done Multiply seven times two Take 14 laughs when you're feeling blue Multiply seven times three A 21-day vacation you can play with me Multiply seven times four You got 28 days (that's-a one month more) To pay the mortgage on your store Don't worry, something will turn up! Multiply seven times five I don't know how you did it, but man alive, that's 35 Multiply seven times six Grab a stick and make a 42 clickety-clicks Multiply seven times seven Take 49 steps right up to seventh heaven Multiply seven times eight They got 56 flavors and I just can't wait Multiply seven times nine 63 musicians, all friends of mine Multiply seven times ten And that brings you right back to 70 again You know, I think that's important There's a trick there somewhere Multiply seven times eleven Even a rabbit knows that's 70 plus seven Multiply seven times twelve You got 84, and isn't that swell I'm going to try seven times 13, just for fun 70 plus 21 Seven times 14 must be great Well, exactly, that's a 70 plus 28 Seven times 15, man alive That's 70 plus 35 . . . a hundred and five! Man, this stuff is simple, no jive You got it, now I got to fly Excuse me folks, I'm saying goodbye I sure do thank you for the huckleberry pie Take it home, boys Remember Lucky Seven Sampson, that's my natural born name If you should ask me again, I'd have to tell you the same You'll wake up tomorrow, you'll be glad that I came Because you'll be singing one of the songs that I sang So keep a happy outlook and be good to your friend And maybe I'll pass this way again Maybe! Bye
