If you have a friend 
On whom you think you can rely 
You are a lucky man
And if you found the reason 
To live on and not to die
You are a lucky man

The preachers, and the poets 
And the scholars don't know it
The temples, and the statues 
And steeples don't show it
If you've got the secret 
Just try not to blow it
Stay a lucky man 
Stay a lucky man

Because on and on
And on and on we go
And it's around the world
In circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your way

So you know that if you have a friend 
On whom you think you can rely
You are lucky man
And if you've found the reason
To live on and not to die
You are lucky man

You know the preachers, and the poets
And the scholars don't know it
And the temples, and statues
And steeples won't show it
If you've got the secret
Just try not to blow it
Stay a Lucky man
Oh, stay a lucky man

And it's around and round, and round
And round, and round we go
And it's around the world                                                      In circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away

The chance to light your day
So, it's on and on and on
And it's on, and on and on
Around the world in circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your day.....
