Uh, Woo, Well, Well...

Look down-hearted and confused
Because lately you've been startin' to lose
Losing out on everything you might try to do
Bad Luck's there, it's got a hold on you.

Losing money, 'bout to lose your home
Done lost your woman and everything you own
Law of averages plainly states that chances go around
But if you want to know the truth about it and tell you what's pulling you down, yeah

(You got) BAD LUCK
That's what you got, that's what you got (Yes, uh)
BAD LUCK
That's what you got, that's what you got
BAD LUCK
That's what you got, that's what you got (you got)
BAD LUCK, bad luck (bad)

Played a number 'cause that number's hot stuff
But the bookies get you for every cent you've got
Walk around in a daze with your pockets bare
Go to see your woman and she aint even there

??Don't seem to give a whiz about it and all your trapped in time??
The more I think about it, I think your 'bout to lose your mind
Some people call it jinxed, some say it aint my day (huh)
But if you wanna know the truth about it and tell you what's pullin' you way down
Bad Luck
That's what you got, that's what you got (Yes uh huh)
Bad Luck
that's what you got, that's what you got (you got)
Bad Luck
that's what you got, that's what you got (you got)
BAD LUCK, BAD LUCK (bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad)

One long week
Ooh, huh
Yeah, yeah
One more thing

Law of averages plainly states that chances go around
But if you wanna know the truth about it and tell you what's pullin' you down
Down, down, down, down
Bad Luck (yes, uh). Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes with Teddy Pendergrass at lead vocal.

How many times have we heard- per radio broadcast- a Giant's batter rip one into the GAP and the ball some way, somehow managed to hit something that allowed the sphere to projectile up and over the fence for a ground-rule double and your Giants' broadcaster almost reluctantly sighs when he says how the ground-rule double cost the Giants a run because the runner would have scored easily?

If you so choose to be a Giants' fan, YOU have to be a gamer! Because being a fan of the orange and black has things that go with it some may not be able to indulge. One of them being a souvenir, of all things. You know, that giant foam finger? It's NOT the index finger.
