Lucky Jim

The rain, it has arrived at last

For which we had waited

The hawkers have packed up their stands

Nothin' to be traded

The Soviets beside the quay

Run to the freighters

The terrace of the Rex Hotel

Is closed by the waiters

We need you

Oh, Lucky Jim

Where have you gone?

Oh, Lucky Jim

Your mistress has left her home

Back to the dances

The smoking dens are startin' up

For life's own enhancin'

No one goes to the war

There's none to go to

We just sit around the cafè bars

We sit, waitin' for you

We need you

Oh, Lucky Jim

Where have you gone?

Oh, Lucky Jim

Why did you ever go up north?

It is not for you

They'll strip your little weak heart clean

What will you do?

The Australians in the Bunny Bar

Are waitin' your return

Everyone wants a piece of you

A piece of you to burn

We need you

Oh, Lucky Jim

Where have you gone?

Oh, Lucky Jim

We miss you here

Oh, Lucky Jim

Where have you gone?

Oh, Lucky Jim
