You were the best supporting actor The unforeseen factor You were the guy who pulled the chains behind the stage If you had talked a little faster Maybe dressed in alabaster You'd've been the hero of the age Here's your day in the sun, Lou See it now that you're done you are the luckiest man on the face of the earth The luckiest man on the face of the earth You always played the second fiddle You were the guy just the right of middle You were the man who drove the car while others slept Well if you had flashed a little fancy Maybe done a little dance-y You'd've been the j**el that they all kept Here's your day in the sun, Lou See it now that you're done you are the luckiest man on the face of the earth The luckiest man on the face of the earth
You were consistently alive You were the king of line drive And there was always something about the way you followed through And in the face of that disease When the muscles start to squeeze the life right out of you Most men shuddered at tragicness Theres this thing you said About being the luckiest man on the face of the earth Here's your day in the sun, Lou See it now that you're done you are the luckiest man on the face of the earth The luckiest man on the face of the earth Here's your day in the sun, Lou See it now that you're done you are the luckiest man on the face of the earth The luckiest man on the face of the earth The luckiest man on the face of the earth You're the luckiest man on the face of the earth
