This aggressive experimental song depicts the breaking point of a hoarder who can't stop collecting lucky charms. Jeffrey Alan Bennett performs as the lucky hoarder.
lyrics
lucky coins and token, good luck postcards, lucky horseshoes
jewelry, jewerly, i don't know how to get sick, i don't know how to get sick
coins and tokens, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
coins and tokens
coins and tokens, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
toin-ta-toin-ta-toin
coins and tokens, postcards, horseshoes, jewelry ... hoodoo!
hoodoo hoodoo hoodoo hoodoo
you're trying to take it away!
what'd i ever do to you?
i been nice about this all day!
how can put a price on wishes from my genie lamps?
how can you put a price on wishes from my genie lamps?
i got that horseshoe at the Kansas State Fair - I met a pretty girl there
she meant everything to me! everything to me!
ev'ry - ev'ry - thing to me - thing to me
oh, my lucky rabbit's feet! oh, my lucky rabbit's feet!
oh, my lucky rabbit's feet! oh, my lucky rabbit's feet!
rabbit's feet! rabbit's rabbit's feet feet feet feet feet feet feet feet
don't touch that! don't touch that! don't touch that!
don't touch that! don't touch that! don't touch that!
no, not that one, anything but that one, i need to take a shower
i'm tired ...
everyone! get out! get out, get out, get out!
everyone! get out! I need my lucky charms!
everyone! get out! get out, get out, get out!
everyone! get out! I need my lucky charms!
everyone! get out! get out, get out, get out!
everyone! get out! I need my lucky charms!
everyone get out of here, leave me alone!
do you know how priceless that is? i can't handle this.
handle this, ugh, i can't handle this, ugh
handle this, ugh, i can't handle this, ugh
i'm tired of all you people being in my space
they'll never let me down like you do
never let me down like they did
i don't have to take this shit
that's the rabbit's foot i got when ... i was ...
