The Lotto Balls


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

Chorus

Twice a week I watch me balls bobbin up an’ down.
Twice a week I watch me balls hoping all around.
It’s all the balls them lotto balls, me balls never hop out.
Red an’ green an’ yellow ones juggling all about.

Twice a week I pick me numbers in the local shop.
Twice a week I do it sure I can never stop.
Sometimes I do a quick pick a scattered all about.
But no matter what I pick me balls, they never do hop out.

Chorus

Twice a week I watch me balls bobbin’ up an’ down.
Twice a week I watch me balls hoping all around.
It’s all the balls them lotto balls, me balls never hop out.
Red an’ green an’ yellow ones juggling all about.

I’ve been doing aul birthday numbers since the lotto it began.
Me mammy says that one day I could be a lucky man.
We pick numbers from the calendar a hanging on the wall.
But the balls with all me numbers never bob out a’tall.

Chorus

Twice a week I watch me balls bobbin’ up an’ down.
Twice a week I watch me balls hoping all around.
Its all the balls them lotto balls, me balls never hop out.
Red an’ green an’ yellow ones juggling all about.

(Richie)…. “Johnny”
(Johnny)… “Ya”
(Richie)…. “If ye won a million, what would ye do?”
(Johnny )…. “I’d tell what I’d do…….. Nothin..”

Chorus

Twice a week I watch me balls bobbin’ up an’ down.
Twice a week I watch me balls hoping all around.
It’s all the balls them lotto balls me balls never hop out.
Red an’ green an’ yellow ones juggling all about.

‘One more time lad”

Chorus

Twice a week I watch me balls bobbin’ up an’ down.
Twice a week I watch me balls hoping all around.
It’s all the balls them lotto balls, me balls never hop out.
Red an’ green an’ yellow ones juggling all about.

One day maybe mine, will be the ones that do hop out…
Ya….
