When you're driving through the desert, and your car runs out of gas,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
When you try to stop some strangers they will holler as they pass,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
So you walk eight miles, and all uphill, to call the Auto Club,
And the whole thing's nip and tuck
'Cause they'll ask you for your number, and your number's in your wallet,
And your wallet's in your car, so lotsa luck

When your television set breaks down and needs repairin' bad,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
You look through the Yellow Pages for an honest-looking ad
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Then the fellow comes, and says your set must go into the shop,
And he takes it in his truck
Four months later when he brings it back, it's someone else's set,
Besides he drops it down the steps, so lotsa luck

Some people think a horseshoe's gonna bring them lots of luck
A horseshoe is a luck charm, of course
But for every set of horseshoes human beings use for luck,
Somewhere in this world's a barefoot horse (a barefoot horse)

When you buy a tape recorder of the automatic kind,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
If it's simplified for folks who aren't mechanically inclined,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
There's a small instruction booklet that's one hundred pages long,
And on page one you get stuck
It says, if unsatisfactory you must bring this to the factory,
And the factory's in Japan, so Rotsa Ruck!
