You [Bb] know what I'm saying
[F]
[C] I'm here on a visit.
I'm [Gb] from Mars
[F] Ladies and gentlemen, we have somebody from planet [D] Mars
Well, Lucky's potential has been
[N] Shown around the world and locally
And it seems to be growing by every day
With Lucky's [Bb] signing to Motown
Internationally, I think [D] it's a major breakthrough for [F] any South African act
[C] This [N] is exhausting, I don't know
Gotta be an easy way of making [Bb] videos
Skankin' yeah
[Dm]
[A] Take it to the people
To get the people to [F] participate
So you can have a nice [N] spontaneous fun video
To do a video that would allow Lucky
To get close to the people
I wanted it to be a happy video
I wanted it to be a video
That we can look at and laugh
Because we haven't been laughing
In South Africa [D] for a long time
In my songs I was singing about slaves
And [Bb] prisoners and everything [B] like that
As the song says, we feel iry
Which means we feel good
Or we feel happy or cool
[D] Lucky is very happy
And I like him [F] because that's [C] African music
[Dm] Lucky is a great guy to us.
[Bb] We like him very much
To be the first [F] to buy
Really, very very happy
[C] He's a good singer
And [Bb] he's liked by everybody
We are liking his music so that the people of [F] South Africa
Will enjoy the music from Lucky Doody
[C] I like his music [Bb] and I'm always watching him on TV Lucky?
[F]
Yeah
He's [C] a [Bb] musician
It's Lucky coming through once again
And it's [Dm] his reflections from his heart
Of what [Gb] he's experienced
And what he's lived through
[Db] What are you talking [Bb] about?
It's about putting your [F] pain of life aside
Your burdens aside
What [C] is that?
A man with [Bb] great ambitions and aspirations
And I think with the [F] right backing
With the country going where it's going
We've [C] got a star in the making
[Bb] And being made
Well, trying to be
He's [Dm] got great muscles
And I think he's going to [E] go from trinity to [D] trinity
To sell platinum [Dm] in about four weeks time
But I think we all are in the music business
This is the last shot we're doing
[A]
[Db] [C] [Bb]
