MARX BROS:
Your smiling face is an open book young man 
We know that look young man you must be oh, so happy 
It's just a case of a love that took, young man 
There are quite a few who envy you

Lucky Boy, she's a beautiful thing 
Lucky Boy, will you give her a ring? 
Lucky Boy, we suppose in the Spring 
You will take your pride and joy on a train 
And her leather suitcase will contain bits of satin and lace 
It's as plain as the nose on your face 
How we envy you Lucky Boy

JACK BARKER:
I must confess that you pave the way for me 
You really say for me the things I want to tell you 
You'll never guess what a lucky day for me 
When I found that she had chosen me

ALL:
Lucky Boy, she's a beautiful thing 
Lucky Boy, I'm as proud as a King 
Lucky Boy, when I give her the ring 
Can't you see me jump with joy with a cheer 
And a "what-a we care"
We'll appear in a bungalow where 
In a year maybe three of us there 
How we envy you Lucky Boy
