Lucky charm from a fairground gate Just a souvenir from the midway man But it seemed to seal the guarantee That the blues would never bother me Don't let me lose my lucky charm That I keep in my pocket Just to hold the memory close to my heart Little charm I'd never be without 'Cause it guards a love I dream about Don't let me lose my lucky charm I know it's just a useless little trinket And the game was rigged against me from the start For my little souvenir will soon be broken And I'll find myself with just an aching heart Lucky charm, my only token To enhance the chance of loving again Just a silly game I choose to play 'Cause I'll only let it slip away Don't let me lose my lucky charm I know it's just an old-time superstition But I keep it for the day the rain comes down 'Cause I know that if I lose my only token That the clouds will come to swallow me back down Lucky charm, 'cause it makes me happy And my fortune will be safe in your guard For as long as I can hold it out I'll have nothing left to cry about Don't let me lose my Don't let me lose my Don't let me lose my lucky charm Lucky charm, lucky charm
