Mazel Means Good Luck

The Song

MAZEL MEANS GOOD LUCK

You Gotta Have A Little Mazel. Cause Mazel Means Good Luck.

And With A Little Mazel, You’ll Always Have A Buck.

And if you have no mazel, although you’re on the ball, you try and try and can’t get by; you beat your head against the wall.

Don’t ever try to figure why you seem to be to blame that some folks have a million and cant even write their name.

Gotta have a little mazel. Mazel means good luck.

‘Cause with a little mazel, You’ll always make a buck.

Mazel is a wish for both a lucky star and lucky fate!

The swinging title track, a pop standard by Artie Lane, Jack Beekman and Leo Fuld, was first introduced in 1947 by its co-writer Artie Lane. It was recorded that year by Louis Prima, Benny Goodman, and even doo wop group The Ravens. It gained full Yiddish verse and chorus when sung in 1954 by multi-lingual star Fuld.
