Lyrics
As I walk down the street
Seems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly hello
I guess I'm just a lucky so-and-so
The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly
They sing wherever I go
I guess I'm just a lucky so-and-so
If you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
But that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know
I guess I'm just a lucky so-and-so
I haven't got a lot of money, I know
Still life is milk and honey, I know
Guess I'm just a lucky–
Just a lucky so-and-so
Writer(s): Mack David, Duke Ellington
