Lucky Number (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1975 Kill Me (Ce Soir) single

Lucky numbers, tumblin’ my way, superstition, I’ll obey

It’s one for a loan and two for me and you and two hits we’ve been singing
Is it true that heaven’s next door, just about three steps climbing
We all know what four stands for, when you into swapping a partners
If that’s not your jive, just give me a five and we’ll drown in holy waters

Lucky numbers, lottery, promised land, wait for me

Six and stones back up my loans and pay the debts I carry
Save that seven just for me, I find it fails me rarely
Roll an eight on wheels of fate, along the course of a destiny
Beethoven’s nine, I won’t say no, I like this lovey-dovey

Place a bet, spin roulette, time to try for Bingo
Cash your check, stick out your neck, dance the Joker’s tango
Nerves of steel, turn the barrel wheel, lucky number limbo

And when you lose you curse the fortune game, blame the loss on date and dame
Find yourself where you begun, worshipping your number one

Place your bet, spin roulette, time to try for Bingo
Nerves of steel, turn the barrel wheel, lucky number limbo

Lucky numbers, black sweet day, superstition, I’ll obey

Number ten won’t listen at all in search of getting even
Hear the call, help me fall, balance on eleven
Just leave twelve to itself, welcome Mr. Mean
To this hotel’s special floor, talkin’ about thirteen

Place a bet, spin roulette, time to try for Bingo
Cash your check, stick out your neck, dance the Joker’s tango
Nerves of steel, turn the barrel wheel, lucky number limbo

And when you lose you curse the fortune game, blame the loss on date and dame
Find yourself where you begun, worshipping your number one

Place a bet, spin roulette, time to try for Bingo
Cash your check, stick out your neck, dance the Joker’s tango
Nerves of steel, turn the barrel wheel, lucky number limbo

Lucky number limbo…
