LUCKY LOUIE/MAX
From coast to coast, we all can boast and sing a toast to one
Who's made a name
By being game.
He was born with wings as great as any dog that flies
A lucky star
Led him afar!
chorus:
Lucky Louie! Up in the sky
Fair or windy, he's flying high.
Peerless, fearless --- knows every cloud
The kind of a pup makes a mother feel proud!
Lucky Louie! Flies all alone
In a little plane all his own,
Lucky Louie shows them the way
And he's the hero of the day.
Just like a child, he simply smiled while we went wild with fear
That Fresno lad!
The world went mad!
Everywhere we prayed for him to safely cross the sea
And he arrived
In gay Clovis!
chorus:
Lucky Louie! Up in the sky
Fair or windy, he's flying high.
Peerless, fearless --- knows every cloud
The kind of a pup makes a mother feel proud!
Lucky Louie! Flies all alone
In a little plane all his own,
Lucky Louie shows them the way
And he's the hero of the day.
