lyrics

I've got an eyelash, I've got a candle,
I've got a horseshoe, I've got a mantle:
It makes me invisible as I move
Into the magical.

I know that I'm not the type of girl
You're used to counting your lucky stars on,
But you may find they were all moonshine,
The kind that littered your skies, my darling.
I know that I am not in your league,
But I've got these seven-league boots.

I've got a winning streak a mile long,
I've got a knock on wood, I've got good luck,
I've got a penny: it's more than enough to pay
For all the wishes we'll make.

I know that I'm not the type of girl
You're used to counting your lucky stars on,
But you may find they were all moonshine,
The kind that littered your skies, my darling.
I know that I am not in your league,
But I've got these seven-league boots.

I know that I'm not the type of girl
You're used to counting your lucky stars on,
But you may find they were all moonshine,
The kind that littered your skies, my darling.

I've got a dandelion I'm waiting to blow.
Great expectations, I've got high hopes.
I've got a prayer that's moving my feet.

I know that I am not in your league,
But I've got these seven-league boots.
