I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before;
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane,
No need explaining, the one remaining
I somebody I adore,
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
Harry M. Woods wrote numerous 1920s standards, including "When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)", "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover", and "Try a Little Tenderness". He composed his songs on piano, despite the fact that he was born without fingers on his left hand.
Alternative novelty lyrics:
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover who
I hit with a power mower One leg is missing, the other is gone, The third leg is scattered all over
the lawn. No need explaining, the one leg
remaining, is spinning on the car port
floor I'm looking over my dead dog Rover who
I overlooked before.
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover who
I hit with a power mower My dog's not eating, he no longer barks He hit the propeller and turned into
sparks No need explaining there's no dog
remaining, he's part of the grass you
see. I'm looking over my dead dog Rover who
I sent to eternity.
