(brilliantly written by Alan Price and performed at the end of the classic movie of the same name)
If you have a friend
On whom you think you can rely
You are a lucky man
And if you found the reason
To live on and not to die
You are a lucky man
The preachers, and the poets
And the scholars don’t know it
The temples, and the statues
And steeples don’t show it
If you’ve got the secret
Just try not to blow it
Stay a lucky man
Stay a lucky man
Because on and on
And on and on we go
And it’s around the world
In circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your way
So you know that if you have a friend
On whom you think you can rely
You are lucky man
And if you’ve found the reason
To live on and not to die
You are lucky man
You know the preachers, and the poets
And the scholars don’t know it
And the 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
Oh, stay a lucky man
And it’s around and round, and round
And round, and round we go
And it’s around the world In circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your day
So, it’s on and on and on
And it’s on, and on and on
Around the world in circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your day
So it’s on and on and on
It’s on and on and on
Round the world in circles turning burning while we can
While others dance away the chance to light your day….
