Lucky Bastard from Greatest Trick by Red Skelly

When I reach that pot of gold
And fulfil the stories I’ve told
Gonna climb to the top of that pile
Plant my flag saying I got mine

I guess those less fortunate than me
Don’t try hard enough, don’t you see?
I’m a lucky bastard

Got my numbers lined up for today
You can’t win if you don’t play
TV says money is printed like time
Scratch that plate until I get mine

I guess my God loves me more
I am blessed, I am lucky for sure
I’m a lucky bastard

When I’m rich can’t take nothing from me
No taxes will tread on me
Do what I want, no need to be kind
Sue the world until I get mine

I guess it’s all fantasy
Just want my neighbor to have less than me
