lyrics

I´m internationally recognized
As a really, really lucky guy.
Everybody knows that I´m
The Lucky Goddamn Jew.

But every since my big success
It´s tragic, but I must confess,
I´m under just a tonne of stress!
I don´t know what to do.

Cause

Everybody wants a piece of my,
Everybody wants a piece of my,
Everybody wants a piece of my,
Good luck now.

Commoners and royalty
Try to sidle up alongside of me
And whisper confidentially,
"Could you rub your luck on mine?"

And recently I have been spoke
Of as a possible future Pope,
Africa looks to me with hope,
They´ll have to wait in line.

Cause

Everybody wants a piece of my,
Everybody wants a piece of my,
Everybody wants a piece of my,
Good luck now.

Seems like everywhere I go
Everybody wants to know
How´d someone like me get so
Lucky "you little jerk".

The questions of these idiots
Are all so inconvenient,
Specially when I´m trying to forget
That luck had anything to do with it.
It was all hard work.
(And clean living.)

Everybody wants a piece of my,
Everybody wants a piece of my,
Everybody wants a piece of my,
Good luck now.

Geoff Berner Vancouver, British Columbia

Singer / songwriter / accordionist / novelist Geoff Berner's music combines klezmer, punk, political satire and Balkan dance rhythms. He writes sharp, literate songs that make you want to weep, laugh, grind your teeth, or kick out a window - often all at the same time. Having built a cult following with his weirdly compelling stage presence, G.B. has a strange ability to create fun chaos. ... more
