 Well I was  down at the Cotton Club last night
 With a couple  of my buddies drinking beer
 We were lookin' for something I ain't never seen
 Boys, I'm grinnin'  from ear to earss
 When I see her long  legs come walking in the door-i
 And her high  heels clicking on the floor
 I knew  right then I'd be headin'  in
 To something  I ain't never seen before
 That's right  I got lucky last night, that's right
 Yea, I'm telling  you true, it could happen to you
 I got lucky  last night
 Well I took my hands out of my pants
 And walked up and asked her to dance
 Oh, we two-stepped, we three-stepped,
 'Fore you even know it, we were tighter than old Jimmy J's pants
 Ain't nothing to learn, one slide or a turn
 With a big move over to the side
 Where we don't have to shout, and we can both figure out
 How we're gonna get away from here light
 That's right lucky last night, that's right
 Yea, I'm telling you true, it could happen to you
 I got lucky last night
 Oh, that's right, that's right
 I got lucky last night, that's right
 I'm telling you true, it could happen to you
 I got lucky last night
 Well this lovely lady with keys to a car
 Whispered she didn't live far
 I said who cares, she said how come chum
 We don't skate out of this bar
 So we dosi-doed, we grand right and left
 And grabbed two six-packs from the bar
 While some fool sang Goodnight Irene,
 I mean we both gone in the car
 Son, that's right, I got lucky last night, that's right
 I'm telling you true, it could happen to you
 But it happened to me, yessiree
 That's right, lucky last night, that's right
 Ain't no reason or rhyme, it just happens sometime
 You got lucky that's right, oh last night, that's right
 I got lucky last night, that's right
 I'm telling you true, it could happen to you
 I got lucky last night
