Lucky Quarter Lyrics

I was walking round the corner

When I dropped my lucky quarter

That was when I thought I saw her

Looking straight into my eyes

As it dropped to my feet

It went a'rollin down the street

I tried to chase it but she picked it up

Before I could catch up

And I said no

That coin is lucky

You leave it alone!

Now whilst I composed myself

I looked her up and down

And what I saw was a face

That was so out of place

It is uncommon to see

This kind of natural beauty

I turned around

Lifted my frown

And changed my tone with some deceit

As she held my lucky relic

I decided on a trick

So I asked her on a date

Said that maybe it was fate

I said that she should flip it

As she did I reached to grip it

In the air to my despair

I missed the coin it landed heads

And I said NO! You won the flip with your shout and now we've gotta go out

And then she smiled and winked at me

Picked up my currency

Took it away from me

And now I've got company

As we walked I gave her flack

To make her give my money back

My mind was racing off the track

I thought I'd have a heart attack

Told her that I did not lend her

Threatened I would apprehend her

Begged her for my precious tender

Til she gave it back

And she said so

The evening's young let's go eat

I know a place down the street

And then with fingers entwined

We looked for places to dine

Her pocket jingled

But I quickly put it out of my mind

In our hasty rush

To beat the early evening crush

We ran into a road

And did not notice the approaching bus

Now it's my firm belief

That I would have been crushed beneath

The grinding wheels of public transport

Like a fragile fallen leaf

Time and again

Come moments when

My quarter lends a hand

And on this occasion

Bus evasion

Must have been its plan

You see a week or so before a hole began to grow

In the pocket of my jeans though at this time I did not know

The weight of objects there inside

Had helped the hole to grow just wide enough

To let my quarter slide

I felt it rolling down my thigh

Stationary coin retrieval

Saved me from the deadly diesel

Engine with its roar so evil

Surely would have proven lethal

As I stood I heard a sound

As if by reflex looked around

Was unprepared for what I found

My date was laying on the ground

Ran to check if she survived

And quickly found that she was fine

And that was when I recognised

The universe's sign

And I said woah

As she held out a dime

That she'd had the whole time

While my quarter protected me

She too was danger free

This girl is as weird as me

It can only be destiny
