Subject: Lyr Add: THINGS ARE COMIN' MY WAY (from B Jones)
THINGS ARE COMIN' MY WAY


1. (I got the left hind leg of a rabbit) - (things are comin my way)
(Well you know) all I gotta do is just a-reach out and grab it -
Things are comin' my way
Oh me, me oh my, I feel happy all of the time
(You know) I ain't got nothin' to worry my mind (becoz)
Things are comin' (my way) - (comin' my way).

2. (Now) I got the left hind - leg of a rabbit - and a - things are comin (my way) - (they're comin' my way)
(You know) all I gotta do is just a-reach out and grab it
Things are comin' (my way) - (comin' my way)
Oh me, how good I feel, I come callin' in an automobile
(You know) I can eat chicken and I don't have to steal (becoz)
Things are comin' (my way) - (comin' my way).

3. (Now) I got the left hind - leg of a rabbit - and a - things are comin (my way) - (they're comin' my way)
(You know) all I gotta do is just a-reach out and grab it -
(And a) things are comin (my way) - (comin' my way)
Oh me, I feel so fine, if it starts rainin' I don't pay no mind
Like a pie in the oven or a fruit on the vine
(You know) things are comin' (my way) - (comin' my way)

4. (My) clothes are tailor-made (and my) shoes are patent leather -
(And) things are comin' (my way) - (comin' my way)
All I gotta do is just stitch myself together / get my shit together!! -
(And a) things are comin' (my way) - (comin' my way)
Oh me, me oh my, I feel happy all of the time
(You know) I ain't got nothin' to worry my mind, (becoz)
Things are comin' my (way) ...

Finale : (I got the left hind) leg of a rabbit (and a) things are comin (my way) - (comin' my way)
(You know) all I gotta do is just a-reach out and grab it
(And a) things are comin' my w-a-a-a-y.
