This is a song about my dear Papa, he ain't lookin' for no Mercedes
He just wants a fishin' pole to use on the weekends
He's askin' the dear Lord to help him win the lottery
But all he needs is four numbers to complete the money he needs
He says"oh dear Lord, just give me four numbers, that's all I need
(that's all I need)
To buy myself a fishin' pole and have my weekends on the sea
(weekends on the sea)
Oh dear Lord, just give me four numbers, that's all I need
Won't you please shower down on me, that sweet lottery"
Papa's got a baby sister whose truck keeps breakin' down
He's always drivin' out to her and haulin' her back to town
He's askin' the dear Lord to help him win the lottery
But all he needs is five numbers to complete the money he needs
He says"oh dear Lord, just give me five numbers, that's all I need
(that's all I need)
To buy my pole and Sissy's truck so she won't have to wait for me
(won't have to wait for me)
Oh dear Lord, just give me five numbers, that's all I need
Won't you please shower down on me, that sweet lottery"
Well, I am waitin' in line now to buy my tickets this week
Maybe the lotto, maybe Omega, or a Wowerball, we'll see
All three tickets could relieve my financial agony
Fold 'em up, put them in my pocket, and hope I get lucky
Singin"oh dear Lord, just give me six numbers, that's all I need
(that's all I need)
To get my pole and Sissy's truck and fix my money woes indeed
(you'll see, you'll see)
Oh dear Lord, just give me six numbers, that's all I need
Won't you please shower down on me, that sweet lottery"
Lookin' down at my ticket, I'll tell you what I see
Ooh wee, I got four numbers, that's a fishin' pole for me
Oh my, I got five numbers, Sissy's got a new ride home
Oh dear Lord, I've got six numbers, no more money woes for me
So now I've got a new plan, since I've won so much money
To travel 'round the world, and that's plenty found by me
My fishin' pole will have to take a wait and see
Sissy's truck will have to take a backseat in my dreams
So Papa calls, and he says this to me"The heavens have opened up, the Lord has wrapped his arms around me
I won all six numbers in this week's lottery
So I am takin' off right now, I'll be out to sea
Maybe fishin, maybe swimmin, but no apologies
Don't know when I'll be back again, I'm leavin' with all my money
So see you, good luck, sayonara, for I won that lottery
Oh dear Lord, thank you so much for rainin' down on me
That sweet, sweet lottery"
Yee-hoo! Just kidding
Y'all can come too
