LUCKY JIM
He hasn’t got no sweetheart or no wife,Or anything like that, to bother life.He don’t keep no house, nor entertain,Nor waste his time in other pleasures vain.And so I singThis little thing:“Oh, Lucky Jim,How I envy him!”His business is to see that others do the work,And you can bet when he’s about no one dares to shirk;But Jim he takes things soft, and doesn’t give a damn;He lives in beautiful and undisturbed calm.And so I singThis little thing:“Oh, Lucky Jim,How I envy him!”His office is quite cozy, and very cheap in rent;But Jim doesn’t stay there to any great extent.He’ll wander in with dignity about the hour of noon,Looks about, takes lunch, and wanders out quite soon.And so I singThis little thing:“Oh, Lucky Jim,How I envy him!”For all this work Jim gets several thousand dollars,And the Lord only knows how much more he collars.They say that Jim is slow but sure, and I’m free to declareThat’s Jim’s as slow, but not so sure, as any polar bear.And so I singThis little thing:“Oh, Lucky Jim,How I envy him!”Why girls don’t up and marry Jim I really can’t make out;For he’s the easiest mark in town, without any doubt.But Jim is wary of the sex that makes us toe the line;He’s not a bit domestic, and for love he doesn’t pine.And so I singThis little thing:“Oh, Lucky Jim,How I envy him!”

He hasn’t got no sweetheart or no wife,
Or anything like that, to bother life.
He don’t keep no house, nor entertain,
Nor waste his time in other pleasures vain.
