The rain, it has arrived at last
      G              D    A
for which we had waited
     Bm           A                G
the hawkers have packed up their stands
 G                D    A
nothing to be traded


The Soviets beside the quay
run to the freighters
the terrace of the Rex Hotel
is closed by the waiters

        We need you, .....  oh, Lucky Jim

        where have you gone, ..... oh, Lucky Jim


Your mistress has left her home
back to the dances
the smoking dens are starting up
for life's own enhancing

Nobody goes to the war
since there's none to go to
we just sit around the cafes bored
sit waiting for you


        We need you, oh Lucky Jim
        where have you gone, oh Lucky Jim


instrumental = verse


Why did you ever go up north
it is not for you
they'll strip your little weak heart clean
what will you do


The Australians in the Bunny Bar
are waiting your return
everyone wants a piece of you
a piece of you to burn


        We need you, oh Lucky Jim
        where have you gone, oh Lucky Jim
        we miss you here, oh Lucky Jim
        where have you gone, oh Lucky Jim
