The Animals - O Lucky Man!

If you have a friend on whom
You think you can rely -
You are a lucky man!
If you've found the reason to live
On and not to die - you are a lucky man!
Preachers and poets and scholars
Don't know it
Temples and statues and steeples
Won't show it
If you've got the secret just try
Not to blow it - stay a lucky man!

If you've found the meaning of the
Truth in this old world-
You are a lucky man!
If knowledge hangs around your neck like
Pearls instead of chains -
You are a lucky man!
Takers and fakers and talkers won't tell you
Teachers and preachers will just
Buy and sell you when no one can tempt you
With heaven or hell- you'll be a lucky man!
