lyrics

ONCE IN THE LIFETIME

Once on a day

A grand I lay

Baby I say

A grand I lay

That today

I don’t hit the prize

Once in a week

I wake up my feet

Once in a week

My cloth is neat

I’m polished

And drink some shot with ice

Just once in my lifetime

Let me live my life

And throw twelve on dice

Just once in my lifetime

Give me sharp clear sign

To how can I reach the sky?

Once on a day

A grand I lay

Baby I say

A grand I lay

That today

I don’t hit the prize

Once in a month

An oblique glance

Once in a month

I forfeit the chance

My chance

To meet someone who’s nice

Just once in my lifetime

Let me live my life

And throw twelve on dice

Just once in my lifetime

Give me sharp clear sign

To how can I reach the sky?

Once in a year

Surely I feel

Once in a year

I tell you my dear

I won’t be

A damned uniformed man

Just once in my lifetime

Let me live my life

And throw twelve on dice

Just once in my lifetime

Give me sharp clear sign

To how can I reach the sky?

I’ll reach the sky

Just once in the lifetime
