I don't know why

It seems like lately

Things are going my way

Everywhere trouble avoids me

And I'm a wasted man and I'm hammered all day

Fortune smiles

It's summer time (or another)

And the sun may shine where it rains

For some people

It takes no effort

As if luck runs in their veins

Ehey, heey

Every dog has its day

And anyway

Mine is

Mine's today

When the first cards were delt

Surely this country got an ace

But we deserve it

Of course we deserve it!

Our forefathers built this place

So of all the things we could be doing

Now there is nothing that we lack

All we care about

Is that America loves us back

Ehey, heey

Every dog has its day

And anyway

Mine is

Mine's today

Sometimes you might think you are

Young, good luck, and evil

And all these things are only because

'good things happen to good people'

No, I say...

Hey, hey, heey

Every dog has its day

And anyway

Mine is today

Hey, hey, heey

Every dog has its day

And anyway

Mine is

Mine

Mine is today
