Never the luck and never the lead

And never you mind they say

In time we all taste the lime in the light

And I'll have my night some day

Still each precious part seems over and done

Before I 've begun to speak

I cast out my line, and keep my hand in

Still I'll not stand in this week



Some starless night

They'll call towards the wings

"Who here dances and sings?"

That's when your truly springs

And seeing me then they'll reply

"Why he knows each line

and everyone's cue

We must let him do the part."

I'll leap centerstage,

the music will play

I'll waltz my way into your heart



Ever I plan and ever I plot

With ever the pluck to try

I wait for my star by fate to be struck

But never the luck have I
