Good Luck Charms

Liner Notes

My football team lost and I don't understand because I was wearing my lucky socks!

Okay, not really, but I did see a magpie the other day, and instinctively wished it good morning, a habit I picked up from my dad. It got me wondering what other odd superstitions there are. Here's a few.

It's a bit of #ukulele #folk #fuc, with a touch of glockenspiel.

I should have waited to post this as my 13th song...

Lyrics

Don't open that umbrella when you are inside,
Walking under ladders, well that isn't very wise
If you see a magpie then there's trouble on the way
But you know you can avert it if you pass the time of day

I found a four leafed clover and I've got my rabbit's foot
I've never broken mirrors and I always knock on wood
My football team won when I was wearing these odd socks,
So I wear them every time that I decide to watch

Why can't I get a break
With all these good luck charms?

I make sure the moon is waxing when the barber cuts my hair,
Keep my new shoes off the table and I don't cross on the stairs
(humming)
I had to skip that line, it was the thirteenth in the song

Why can't I get a break
With all these good luck charms?

These talismans and amulets aren't having much effect
Some say the more you practise, the luckier you get

Meh

When I walk along the street I don't step on the cracks
I stay away from black cats so that they can't cross my path
I'll always pick up pennies when I see them on the floor
And I've got a lucky horseshoe that I hang above the door

Why can't I get a break
With all these good luck charms?
What could possibly go wrong
With all these good luck charms?
