Cross your fingers say you're on high

Pretend you're in den and see what life brings

But always taking things as they come

Tends to make you forget to put anything in

The longer you dwell the more it's like hell

You sit by the well just making a wish

It would be a shame to take too much blame

Look we're all the same

It's only a game

Ackee 1 2 3

Ackee 1 2 1 2 3

Did I just catch you laughing

Ackee 1 2 3

Ackee 1 2 1 2 3

Forward where the knocks are hardest

Some to failure some to fame

Never mind the cheers or hooting

Keep your head and play the game

Try to keep your feet on the ground

Without getting them stuck in the mud

You will soon be over the moon or twice as hot as the sun

Ackee 1 2 3

Ackee 1 2 1 2 3

So cross your fingers say you're on high

Pretend you're in den and see what life brings

But always taking things as they come

Tends to make you forget to put anything in

The longer you dwell the more it's like hell

You sit by the well just making a wish

To make it plain I'll say it again

We're all the same

It's only a game

Ackee 1 2 3

Ackee 1 2 1 2 3

Did I just catch you laughing

Ackee 1 2 3

Ackee 1 2 1 2 3

Someone just smiled for no special reason

It looks liken the smile's come back into season

It's so easy

It doesn't have to be a nice day

Just the only one you've got

And it's coming ready or not

Ackee 1 2 3

Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
