People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and goin, ooooh If ya got the good luck it's hard to figure out 

What the one with the bad luck is carryin on about What would just enough of the good luck and money or the lack of it do 
Make a young man of 40 an old man of 22 

People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh 
Maybe someone you thought was very kind and true 
Turned around and did somethin just plain mean to you 
And it might make you cry, and it might make you real mad 
And it might get you to thinkin about the kind of luck that you both had 
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh 

Don't we all want to laugh a little, don't we all want to cry 
Don't we all want to live a little before it's time to die If ya got the good luck it sure might seem that way But if you got the bad luck you just cannot make it through the day 
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and goin, ooooh 
Once I had me a good friend, he was funny and full of cheer 
But his luck was always so bad and he's no longer here 
Sometimes in this world I'm wonderin that we ain't grateful for every breath 
Sometimes in this world I'm wonderin that we don't all just drink ourselves to death 
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh 
Yeah the people with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh
