TRUSTING MY LUCK
(Arthur Johnston / Maurice Sigler)

Jessie Matthews (with Peter Yorke & His Orchestra)


Pardon me if I seem optimistic
Excuse me please if I seem light and gay
For, you see, I have a few suspicions
That everything will turn out quite OK

And so I’m trusting my luck I’ve got my fingers crossed
I’ve got a hunch my honeybunch cares for me
I’m trusting my luck true love is never lost
I’ve got a heart and he’s got the lock and key
I’m getting my keepsake
On the honeymoon sweepstake
So whenever my luck breaks
It better be good, knock on wood,
I’m trusting my luck, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
And almost guarantee
That my honeybunch cares for me.

(Orchestral Interlude)

And so I’m trusting my luck I’ve got my fingers crossed
I’ve got a hunch my honeybunch cares for me
I’m trusting my luck true love is never lost
I’ve got a heart and he’s got the lock and key
I’m getting my keepsake
On the honeymoon sweepstake
So whenever my luck breaks
It better be good, knock on wood,
I’m trusting my luck, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
And almost guarantee
That my honeybunch cares for me.
