You May Already Be A Winner Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dry your eyes, pretty girl
I just got news from the outside world
I don't know how they got our names
But yesterday this letter came

[Chorus]
Mr. and Mrs. Permanent Dweller
Your lucky number is
You may already be a winner

[Verse 2]
Well, I've suspected this for years
Still in all, it's nice to hear
They're pulling for us in the post
To you, my dear, I raise this toast

[Chorus]
The house of our dreams, an El Dorado
A ten-speed blender, you
You may already be a winner

[Bridge]
Well, I've never counted my chickens
Before they're hatched
And I know there is always a catch
But I've felt from the start
That our hearts were the perfect match
[Verse 3]
I know you're tired of the same old dress
I know the car's been repossessed
I know this house is just a shack
But there's this love we can't hold back

[Chorus]
Would you like a beer with your TV dinner?
Oh, my darling, you
You may already be a winner

[Outro]
You may already be a winner
Ha-ah, ha-ah, ha-ah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
