about

Now available for the first time as a digital download.

'Luckiest Man In The World' was released originally as a bonus track on Frenzy In The Hips, a CD compiling all five of the Trocs' previous songs. Until now, it's not been downloadable.

Lord Rutledge nailed it in his 'Frenzy' review: "If you already own the first two singles, the lure here is the fantastic 'Luckiest Man In The World' - which sounds like a song the Beach Boys might have recorded with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor sitting in on guitar."

lyrics

The Luckiest Man In The World

He'll take two cards and hit an inside straight,
Win your money then he’ll steal your date,
He's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,

Robber shot a bullet straight at his head,
Bullet took a U-turn, killed the robber instead,
He's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
Yeah, he's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,

Bridge
He’s got a girl in every city and town,
Never been shot down,

Guitar break - Geoff

Chorus
They call it luck,
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck,
(He’s the luckiest man)
The luckiest in the world…

Yeah, robber shot a bullet straight at his head,
Bullet took a U-turn, killed the robber instead,
He's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
Yeah, he's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,

He’s got a girl in every city and town,
Never been shot down,

Guitar break - Brad

They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
The luckiest in the world…
