[Verse 1]
Got an email at 22
Told me I could be a star
On a plane for the first time
I couldn't wait to start
Landed at JFK
Father Christmas picked me up
Checked in to a dream hotel and I thought
"There's no such thing as luck"
I walked in to my interview
And I thought, "There's no such thing as luck"
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, if I only knew then what I know now
I'd stand like a one-man band and I'd say
All this is new to me but here's how it's gonna be
[Chorus]
And I'd say
"Hey, there is more to me than meets the eye
Let me be who I wanna be"
And I’d say
"Hey, I'm an oddity and that's alright
Let me fly and follow my dreams"
Then I'd say
"Hey thanks for the weekend
A good time was had by all"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
I ain't a smooth-talker but thanks for the Fiji Water"
Thanks for the Fiji Water
[Verse 2]
Dinner under a palm tree
I had so much on my mind
Amazed by the bright lights
I stayed up half the night
And boy I took a leap of faith
With nowhere else to go but up
I walked in to my interview
And I thought, "There's no such thing as luck"
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, if I only knew then what I know now
I'd stand like a one man band and I'd say
All this is new to me, but here's how it's gonna be
[Chorus]
And I'd say
"Hey, there is more to me than meets the eye
Let me be who I wanna be"
And I'd say
"Hey, I'm an oddity and that's alright
Let me fly and follow my dreams"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
A good time was had by all"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
I ain't a spin doctor but thanks for the offer
And by the way
Hey, thanks for the weekend
(No one does it like you do)
You know I had a ball
(It was nice to meet you)"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
I ain't a smooth-talker but thanks for the Fiji Water"
Thanks for the Fiji Water
[Outro]
I laughed when I got back home and I thought
"There's no such thing as luck"
