Well, they call me Mr. Jinx,
cause everything happens to me
I was born on a Friday,
don't you know it had to be the 13th?
Well, I'm so unlucky,
everybody stayed away from me
Now black cats follow me
when I walk down the street
If I walk under a ladder
don't you know that something falls on me
If I look into a mirror
it'll shatter so it's plain to see
Why they call me Mr. Jinx,
that's what everybody thinks
Well, trouble always haunts me,
and everybody that's around me
Man, I've got to find some chicks
to get myself out of this fix,
I'm Mr. Jinx
Well, they call me Mr. Jeans
That's what everybody thinks
Well, trouble always haunts me
And everybody that's around me
Man, I've got to find a way
to make my bad luck go away,
I'm Mr. Jakes
Man, why does everything happen to me?
Why I promised to wear my hat
and those, you know,
the roof without the cave -in
Why I get scared
just walking down the street
Why I'm gonna give myself a lucky penny
and a silver dollar
And a horseshoe and a rabbit's foot
And if that don't work,
I'm gonna get myself a whole rabbit!
And a jackrabbit,
and a white rabbit,
and everything else!
