I’m not the belle of the ball

Open mic not Carnegie hall

I’m just saving up for a Friday night

When the river runs dry

And the hangers-on bite

It wouldn’t matter that much if I had to decide

Once in a blue

A blue, blue moon

You gotta make your luck anyway

You gotta make your luck anyway

Why would I wait for a blue, blue moon?

You gotta make your luck anyway

You gotta make your luck anyway

The fervent kiss of a feeling

Or chandeliers up on the ceiling

Not the kind of dreams that a made man has

Living pillar to post

A celebrity’s ghost

It never mattered that much

Till it mattered the most

Once in a blue

A blue, blue moon

You gotta make your luck anyway

You gotta make your luck anyway

Why would I wait for a blue, blue moon?

You gotta make your luck anyway

You gotta make your luck anyway

Is it enough disappointment fits me like a glove

In the hand, a couple of grand won’t break the mould like you can

You gotta make your luck anyway

You gotta make your luck anyway

Why would I wait for a blue, blue moon?

You gotta make your luck anyway

You gotta make your luck anyway
