Doris Day - The Superstition Song

It isn’t that I’m superstitious , superstitious, I am not
Nevertheless, I take no chances, walk under ladders
Don’t give a hoot for hex or hoodoo, Lady Luck, or April Fool’s
Nevertheless, I’m more than careful to observe these rules

When I lie in bed at night and hear a whippoorwill
I rush to put a rabbit’s foot upon my windowsill
But when I find a four leaf clover, that’s my lucky day
There’s thirteen reasons why I feel this way

I never lived in fear of witches, which is why I wish to state
Long as I’m feeling fine and dandy, and my health is great
Why, oh why, should I tempt fate

I’ve never known a jinx or Jonah that could ever frighten me
Nevertheless, I don’t object to hanging up a horseshoe
I don’t believe in mystic powers, mystic powers, tommy-rot
Nevertheless, I cross my fingers when I’m in a spot

Always make three wishes when I see a shooting star
Never eat an oyster in a month without an “R”
And when I catch a ladybug, I let it fly away
There’s thirteen reasons why I feel this way

Never tap your toe in June to an organ grinder’s tune
Men who pick up rusty pins marry girls with double chins
Three on one match isn’t good, make a circle, knock on wood
On the sidewalk, don’t relax, never, never step on cracks

Children skippin’ rope
Happy is their horoscope
But if they should drop their rope
Well, I could go on listing things all day

Skippin’ rope, horoscope, rusty pins, double chins,
Lots of things like wedding rings …… wedding rings
I can see me, sad and dreamy
In a wedding gown

It isn’t that I’m superstitious , superstitious, I am not
Nevertheless, I see no harm iIn lookin’ in a window

Now, pickin’ petals off o' daisies isn’t what you’re thinkin’ of
Believe it or not, I’m just preparin' for that well known dove
Just in case I fall in love
Just in case I fall in, fall in, fall, I’ll fall in love
