Adam Guettel - Lucky lyrics

[Nellie] Lucky's what I am Ain't no s**ling baby lamb Sure as hell don't give a damn For what they think 'bout me Lucky, in his way Buzzing in my gut today Like a choir of crickets singing We're gonna sell some tickets, singing: How's about a radio? How's about a new car, y'know? How's about a valley farm? How's about a boy on my arm? Gonna git a little respect Gonna hold our heads up erect Gonna show 'em what we've got; Show 'em what we will take And will not now And what we got now Is a lot now No, no, don't you fret; I ain't told you nothing yet We gonna sing a cave duet Inside a magic dome 'Cause being near to him I know I'm truly lucky Now that I've come home [Miss Jane] But when dreams talk, Nellie, you best heed' em. You listening to me? You learn to doubt things. You don't fool with dreams like that [Nellie] Doubting never did us any good Why you wanna fill us up with doubt? Doubting never did us, no, not one lick of good; Why don't you just help us out Like you should? Oh, let us dream some [MISS JANE] Go an' dream [NELLIE] Let us scheme a caving scheme If what he says is there, is there And God is good And fair is fair We're sitting on a pile of dough Higher than a grain silo! [MISS JANE] Think of all the lofty ways Think of all the lazy days... [NELLIE] We could take a trip somewhere... [MISS JANE] Anywhere at all, I don't care [NELLIE] Git me in a Model A I could roll the whole day away, now [MISS JANE] You don't say now! [NELLIE] Let's pray now: [NELLIE + MISS JANE] Good news 'round the bend; Trouble days is gonna end [MISS JANE] Even broken hopes'll mend 'Cause things ain't what they seem MISS JANE NELLIE So lonesome Nellie girl, Ooo My little pearl My dreamer: Dream Oh, how I love to dream... 'Cause You've (I've) come home And I feel lucky! Lucky! Lucky!
