Lucky Seven Sampson - Bob Dorough

Now, you can call me lucky, 'cause Lucky’s my name

Singin' and dancin', that’s my game

I never did a whole day’s work in my life

Still, everything seemed to turn out right

Like a grasshopper on a summer’s day

I just love to play and pass the time away

'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star

They said I’d go far

Makin' people happy, that’s my favorite game

Lucky Seven is my natural name

Slippin' and slidin' my whole life through

Still I get everything done that I got to do

'Cause I was born 'neath 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 feelin' 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

Somethin' will turn up!

Yeah

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 42 clickity-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 11

Even a rabbit knows that’s seventy plus seven

Multiply seven times 12

You got 84, and isn’t that swell?

I’m gonna try seven times 13 just for fun

Seventy plus 21

Seven times 14 must be great

Well exactly, that’s-a seventy plus 28

Seven times 15, man alive

That’s seventy plus 35, 105!

Man, this stuff is simple, no jive!

You got it, and I gotta fly

Excuse me folks, I’m sayin' 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 wake up tomorrow, you’ll be glad that I came

'Cause you’ll be singin' 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!
