The waitress asks me if I'm famous
I say no, but I'm hungry
She says the eggs are cold,the toast is burnt,
The bacon's mostly fat and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
Nowhere to stay I ring a doorbell
The landlord looks me up and down and says
The walls are thin, the rooms are cramped,
There's no place to hang your hat, and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
'Cause every day I play it straight,
I never tempt the hand of fate,
In a world of give and take
I take what's given
I find a gypsy fortune teller
In a run down shack across the tracks
She says money isn't in the cards
Hard work'll break your back, and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
Standing at the gates of heaven,
Saint Peter smiles at me and says
The food is great, the hotel's grand,
Your bags have been unpacked, and I say
Lucky me, I like it like that
Lucky me, I like it like that
