Lyrics
Chorus:
Billiken, Billiken
You funny creation
I want to be lucky as I can
Billiken, Billiken
Good luck you’ve brought to me
‘Cause you’re the God of all things
As they ought to be
Funny, sunny, all the money
The Billiken Man
Extra verses:
Once a fat man went a-swimming’
From the surf he tripped
He was flirtin’ with some women
When his new suit ripped
As he sat down in the sand
He said, “Billikens don’t stand”
I’m a Billiken, a Billiken Man
Once a lady wore a Sheath Gown
And it showed her hose
From her knee right underneath down
To her dainty toes
She don’t smile for she was tricked
‘Cause she had her stocking picked
By a Billiken, a Billiken Man
