[Intro]
Bootzilla, baby!

Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
Try and love might come your way

[Verse 1]
Here I am, on a cloud
If you want me take the chance, try love out loud
As I drift through the sky
Shooting cupid's loving arrow you just might try
So don't miss baby, take your time
You've only got one chance, yes

[Hook 1]
Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
Touch a four leaf clover (If you wanna be with me)
Love my get you over (You better pick the right one)
Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
Try and love might come your way

[Verse 2]
Like the wind, I am free
Going places, being things I wanna be
To settle down is oh so hard
But I will grant you that one chance
So pick the right card
And don't miss it, take your time
You've only got one chance, ooh wee ooh wee ooh

[Hook 1]
Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
Touch a four leaf clover
Love my get you over
(Don't you take your time, young man!)
Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
(Just one try, oh my my)
Try and love might come your way

[Bridge]
Free as a bird, yeah, yeah
To catch me is to catch a leprechaun
Hold on to your rabbit's foot
I just might be yours forever
You better

[Hook 1]
Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
(Come on, baby, say you love me)
Touch a four leaf clover
Love might get you over
(I know it's risky, you can't resist me)
Touch a four leaf clover
Maybe we'll get over
Try and love might come your way

[Hook 2]
Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
Try and love might come your way
(You might get lucky, you just might get me)
Love might get you over
Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
Try and love might come your way
Maybe we'll get over

Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
(Come on and touch it!)
Touch a four leaf clover
(Spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs
You better come quickly to get my love!)
Love might get you over

Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
Try and love might come your way
Maybe we'll get over

Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
Touch a four leaf clover
Love might get you over

Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
Try and love might come your way
Maybe we'll get over

Touch a four leaf clover
(Touch a four leaf clover)
(Like the wind, I am free, set me free, be with me)
Touch a four leaf clover
Love might get you over

Touch a four leaf clover
(Domino, domino, domino)
(Touch a four leaf clover)
Try and love might come your way
Maybe we'll get over
(Big six, six three will get you fifteen!)
