lyrics

Ed is talkin' to me
sayin' "send it in"
There's no doubt about it
those things you just can't win
There's a sign in the window
on the grocery store
put your name in the box here
just like you did before...

Life would be so grand
with $30,000,00 in my hand
Life could be so grand
with $30,000,000 in my hand

I got a letter today
with a big time amount
the check had numbers on it
but it had no account
it said I had a name
in a box with a star
and if I went to see them
they would give me a car

Life would be so grand
with $30,000,00 in my hand
Life could be so grand
with $30,000,000 in my hand

(solo) 2 measures
Intro pause
I turned my TV on
'cause it was time to play
I got my ticket out
in hopes that they would say
"Congratulations,
it's your lucky day
we just picked your number!"
It never goes that way...

Life would be so grand
with $30,000,00 in my hand
Life could be so grand
with $30,000,000 in my hand
