If you have a friend on whom you think
you can rely - You are a lucky man!
If you've found the reason to live on and

not to die - You are a lucky man!
Preachers and poets and scholars don't know it,
Temples and statues and steeples won't show it,

If you've got the secret just try not to blow
it - Stay a lucky man!
If you've found the meaning of the truth

in this old world- You are a lucky man!
If knowledge hangs around your neck like
pearls instead of chains - You are a lucky man!


Takers and fakers and talkers won't tell you.
Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you.

When no one can tempt you with heaven or hell-
You'll be a lucky man!


You'll be better by far to be just what you are
You can be what you want if you are what you are
And that's a lucky man, oh yeah, a lucky man

And that's a lucky a lucky a lucky man
