Mama gave me rules to live, Says, "If you want the stars to give, Don't you whistle in the house, Or you'll scare away the cash somehow!" I keep my keys off every table, Cross my fingers when I'm able, Black cats pass? I change my route, Just in case they're handing bad luck out. I dodge the ladders, left and right, Never spill the salt in sight. Every rabbit keeps its foot— I'm the one who's out of luck! I do everything my mama says, Following all the old folk ways. I'm collecting lucky charms by the ton, But good luck? I still haven't won! Fortune never knocks my door, Wealth still says, "Not anymore." I've been perfect every day... Yet bad luck knows my home address! Wish at seven, knock on wood, Smile and hope the vibes are good. Found a penny, heads-up too— Next thing, I lose my other shoe. Never open umbrellas inside, Carry lucky socks with pride. Every horoscope says, "Great!" Then my coffee lands right on my plate. Maybe fate's just having fun, Maybe I'm the chosen one... Not for riches, not for fame— Just for losing every game! I do everything my mama says, Following all the old folk ways. No house whistles, no black cats, no salt— Tell me now, whose is this fault? Happiness keeps missing trains, Money's hiding in the rain. I've obeyed each superstition... Bad luck signed a long-term subscription! So if luck is really free... Why's it charging extra... me?
