Lotsa Luck
Trials of Luck: Life's Hilarious Struggles
Lyrics
When you're driving through the desert, and your car runs out of gas,
When stranded in the desert with an empty gas tank, facing difficulties in seeking help.
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Expressing sarcastic wishes of luck in a challenging situation.
When you try to stop some strangers they will holler as they pass,
People passing by won't stop to assist when trying to flag down strangers.
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Reiterating the lack of luck in seeking help from others.
So you walk eight miles, and all uphill, to call the Auto Club,
Having to walk a considerable distance to contact the Auto Club for assistance.
And the whole thing's nip and tuck
Describing the situation as uncertain and challenging.
'Cause they'll ask you for your number, and your number's in your wallet,
Highlighting the difficulty in providing necessary information due to inaccessible belongings.
And your wallet's in your car, so lotsa luck
Making light of the challenging situation due to the unavailability of essential items.
When your television set breaks down and needs repairin' bad,
Facing trouble when a television breaks down and needs fixing.
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Reiterating sarcastic wishes of luck in a challenging repair situation.
You look through the Yellow Pages for an honest-looking ad
Searching for a reliable repair service in the Yellow Pages.
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Emphasizing the lack of luck in finding a trustworthy repairman.
Then the fellow comes, and says your set must go into the shop,
The repairman takes the TV set for a lengthy repair process.
And he takes it in his truck
Describing the delay and inconvenience caused by the repairman.
Four months later when he brings it back, it's someone else's set,
The repaired TV set is returned, but it belongs to someone else, and it's damaged.
Besides he drops it down the steps, so lotsa luck
Expressing further misfortune in the repair process.
Some people think a horseshoe's gonna bring them lots of luck
Commenting on people's belief in horseshoes as lucky charms.
A horseshoe is a luck charm, of course
Acknowledging the common belief in horseshoes as symbols of luck.
But for every set of horseshoes human beings use for luck,
Suggesting a humorous twist that a horse somewhere is without horseshoes.
Somewhere in this world's a barefoot horse (a barefoot horse)
Playfully indicating a potential consequence of humans using horseshoes.
When you buy a tape recorder of the automatic kind,
Encountering challenges when buying a tape recorder of the automatic kind.
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Reiterating sarcastic wishes of luck in dealing with a complicated purchase.
If it's simplified for folks who aren't mechanically inclined,
Referring to a tape recorder designed for non-mechanically inclined individuals.
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Highlighting the frustration of dealing with a complex instruction booklet.
There's a small instruction booklet that's one hundred pages long,
Describing the extensive length of the instruction booklet.
And on page one you get stuck
Getting stuck on the first page of the lengthy instruction manual.
It says, if unsatisfactory you must bring this to the factory,
Instructing to bring the unsatisfactory product to the factory, which is in Japan.
And the factory's in Japan, so Rotsa Ruck!
Poking fun at the impracticality of seeking resolution from a faraway factory.
