Lucky Doug Fergus - Sorry Try Again Lyrics

I gave up on the lottery
My lucky streak never began
Drank a million soda pops
Just to look inside the can

Ate a thousand candy bars
All of them were specially marked
Unwrapped each one carefully
And I got a thousand broken hearts

Sorry, try again
Sorry, try again
We want you to know
We're sorry, try again
And though I keep on trying
I keep on finding

I entered every sweepstakes
Yes, that one with Ed McMahon
Found all the stamps and stuck 'em on
Don't know why I kept on playin'

Took myself to eat Chinese
I thought it might clear my head
Then they brought the fortune cookie
And this is what my fortune read

Sorry, try again
Sorry, try again
We want you to know
We're sorry, try again
And though I keep on trying
I keep on finding

Now in the back of a magazine
Saw lovely foreign queens
Who are lonely
They want to meet me
So I wrote to the PO Box
Expecting to meet a fox
But instead this is what they said

Sorry, try again
Sorry, try again
We want you to know
We're sorry, try again
And though I keep on trying
I keep on finding
Sorry, try again
