I'm Just a Lucky So and So
Embracing Life's Blessings: Ella Fitzgerald's 'I'm Just a Lucky So and So'
Lyrics
As I walk down the street
Walking down the street
Seems everyone I meet
Meeting friendly people
Gives me a friendly hello.
Receiving warm greetings
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
Feeling fortunate and blessed
The birds in every tree
Observing friendly birds
Are all so neighborly.
Encountering neighborly nature
They sing wherever I go.
Hearing birdsong everywhere
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
Acknowledging luck in life
If you should ask me the amount
Considering financial worth
In my bank account
Reflecting on bank balance
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
Admitting a decrease in funds
But that don't worry me, confidentially
Not troubled by financial concerns
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
Possessing a wonderful dream
And when the day is through
Anticipating the end of the day
Each night I hurry to
Rushing home each night
A home where love waits, I know.
Finding love in a welcoming home
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
Reiterating a sense of luck
And when the day is through
Anticipating the end of the day (repeated)
Each night I hurry to
Rushing home each night (repeated)
A home where love waits, I know.
Finding love in a welcoming home (repeated)
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
Reaffirming a sense of luck (repeated)
I'm just a lucky, lucky so and so
Stating luck as a defining characteristic
