[Verse 1]
I've never bought a lottery ticket
But sometimes late at night, when I'm bored
Think about the high life I'd be living
All the silly things I could afford

[Pre-Chorus]
A house in L.A. and one by the beach
Cars that go fast and a parrot that speaks
I'd snap my fingers and have anything that I want

[Chorus]
I could date someone young when I start to feel old
I'd throw all these parties for people I don't know
They would come for the money, but never for me
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery

[Verse 2]
I bet I'd probably start feeling empty
So I'd grab a pen and writе a check
To the latest and grеatest foundation
For some recent world crisis event

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd lose the friends and family, too
They'd all disappear, but out of the blue
Start asking for money, intending to shoot for all I've got

[Chorus]
But all of the glamor would start to get old
My kids would fight over the will, so I'm told
And they would come for the money, but never for me
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery

[Bridge]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Oh, oh-oh)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da

[Outro]
So I'll take my apartment, the same pair of jeans
I don't need tons of people, crowds aren't for me
Sometimes, the winners lose everything
And, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
