Lyrics
The sunlight, the twilight, the moonlight, the starlight
What do they mean without a girl?
Supposin’ the world is your oyster
What good is an oyster
When it does not contain a pearl?
I thought so many times that I’d found Heaven
Then by and by how earthbound it would be
But Cupid at last threw a seven
And suddenly it happened to me
Refrain:
My lucky moon above was shinin’
Knock on wood
My clouds all had a silver linin’
Knock on wood
I got a lovin’ baby like I never had before
Sweeter than the candy in the candy store
And now I feel so good (knock wood)
The date and everything is definitely understood
I’m gonna buy two tickets on the choo-choo train
And feel I’m flyin’ in an aeroplane
So knock, knock, knock, honey
Knock, knock, knock on wood
Refrain:
My lucky moon above was shinin’
Knock on wood
My clouds all had a silver linin’
Knock on wood
I got a lovin’ baby like I never had before
Sweeter than the candy in the candy store
And now I feel so good (knock wood)
The date and everything is definitely understood
And when I reach my baby’s door
Won’t ring that doorbell any more
I’m gonna knock, knock, knock, honey
Knock, knock, knock on wood
