The Wise Guy and Lucky - pat mAcdonald

The Wise Guy and Lucky
On a blind double date
Were set up with two sisters
Named Destiny and Fate

The first to move was Lucky
The Wise Guy was too late
He lusted after Destiny
But he ended up with Fate

He whispered lucky bastard
You live up to your name
Said Lucky "What's the difference?
They're both about the same"

The wise guy said "Who you trying to kid
I knew that's what you'd say
You know as well as I do
Those two are night and day"

But if you like I'll tell you
You lucky so-n-so
Why I would make a different choice
As if you don't well know

Though Fate's the easier, I've heard tell
What good is there to gain
Though Destiny might challenge you
You know she's worth the pain

Though Destiny might lead you on
While Fate throws you a bone
She'll show you her true colors
While Fate's remains unknown

Though Destiny might bend you ear
Fate she seldom talks
Just busts in unexpectantly
While Destiny she knocks

And friend that's why I'd rather try
To weather out a date
In misery with Destiny
Than wistfully with Fate

That's why I say quite plainly
If I had to choose a mate
I'd rather die by Destiny
Than live in the hands of Fate

The Wise Guy and Lucky
On blind double date
Were set up with two sisters
Named Destiny and Fate

The first to move was Lucky
The Wise Guy was too late

But he ended up with Fate
