LUCKY ME (Soundtrack) Songs from the film "Lucky Me" (1954) Music by Sammy Fain / Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster Starring Doris Day, Robert Cummings, Phil Silvers, Nancy Walker and Eddie Foy Jr. LUCKY ME (Opening Credits) Performed by a Studio Choir Lucky me Now the world's our lucky highway All the signs are going my way Yessirree, lucky me, lucky me, yessirree! With a lucky star to guide me And the one I love beside me Life will be so fancy free Don't you wish that you could be lucky me ******************** SUPERSTITION SONG Performed by Doris Day It isn’t that I’m superstitious , superstitious, I am not Nevertheless, I take no chances, walk under ladders Don’t give a hoot for hex or hoodoo, Lady Luck, or April Fool’s Nevertheless, I’m more than careful to observe these rules When I lie in bed at night and hear a whippoorwill I rush to put a rabbit’s foot upon my windowsill But when I find a four leaf clover, that’s my lucky day There’s thirteen reasons why I feel this way I never lived in fear of witches, which is why I wish to state Long as I’m feeling fine and dandy, and my health is great Why, oh why, should I tempt fate I’ve never known a jinx or Jonah that could ever frighten me Nevertheless, I don’t object to hanging up a horseshoe I don’t believe in mystic powers, mystic powers, tommy-rot Nevertheless, I cross my fingers when I’m in a spot Always make three wishes when I see a shooting star Never eat an oyster in a month without an “R” And when I catch a ladybug, I let it fly away There’s thirteen reasons why I feel this way Never tap your toe in June to an organ grinder’s tune Men who pick up rusty pins marry girls with double chins Three on one match isn’t good, make a circle, knock on wood On the sidewalk, don’t relax, never, never step on cracks Children skippin’ rope Happy is their horoscope But if they should drop their rope Well, I could go on listing things all day Skippin’ rope, horoscope, rusty pins, double chins, Lots of things like wedding rings …… wedding rings I can see me, sad and dreamy In a wedding gown It isn’t that I’m superstitious , superstitious, I am not Nevertheless, I see no harm iIn lookin’ in a window Now, pickin’ petals off o' daisies isn’t what you’re thinkin’ of Believe it or not, I’m just preparin' for that well known dove Just in case I fall in love Just in case I fall in, fall in, fall, I’ll fall in love ******************** MEN Performed by Doris Day and Phil Silvers DORIS: Men men, horrible men I've said it before and I'll say it again What I think of men you can't print in a book Lucky the girl who has never been took SILVERS: Girls, girls, putting on airs Who likes 'em, who wants 'em, who needs them, who cares They'll string you along with a song and a dance Then walk out on you for a new pair of pants DORIS: Men have got a sort of nose for Any chicken whose kickin' around And believe me, Sir, that goes for Ev'ry masculine resident up to the President SILVERS: Love, love, horrible word Show me the dove and I'll give it the bird It isn't your looks, it's your chequebook and pen DAY: Regarding their promises, do just what momma says Be doubting Thomases, men!
