lyrics
I got the left hind leg of a rabbit
Things are coming my way
All I got to do is just reach out and grab it
Things are coming my way
Oh me, oh my I feel happy all the time
I ain’t got nothing to worry my mind
Because things are coming my way.

I got the left hind leg of a rabbit,
Things are coming my way
All I got to do is just reach out and grab it
Things are coming my way
Oh me, how good I feel
I come calling in an automobile
I can eat chicken and I don’t have to steal
Because things are coming my way.

I got the left hind leg of a rabbit
Things are coming my way…
All I got to do is just reach out and grab it
Thingsn are coming my way
Oh me I feel so fine
If it starts raining I don’t pay no mind
‘ Like a pie in the oven or a fruit on the vine
You know things are coming my way.

My clothes are tailor made and my shoes are patent leather
And things are coming my way
All I got to do is just stitch myself together
And things are coming my way
Oh me, me oh my
I feel happy all the time
I ain’t got nothing to worry my mind
Because things are coming my way.

I got the left hind leg of a rabbit
Things are coming my way
All I got to do is just reach out and grab it
Things are coming my way
