Lyrics

THE LEFT SIDE, NOT THE RIGHT
(Music and Lyric by Louis Rosen)

If you ask me friend what’s the
Key to my success
There’s lots of things I’d like to say
But the simple truth
Nothing more and nothing less is a
Choice I made by
Chance one day

I started to part my hair on the
Left side, not the right
And holy smoke, my luck did change
Started to part my hair on the
Left side, not the right
From that day on the
Left was right

Maybe life’s a dream
Some say all you need is love
Could be life is pre-ordained
Maybe be a God of Whimsy’s
Playing tricks there up above
And if you let him catch your eye
You’ll be entertained

I started to part my hair, not the
Right side, but the left
And poof! The gods did smile on me
Started to part my hair, not the
Right side, but the left
That’s how capricious
Life can be

Sometimes a crossroad lies before you
No in-between, no middle road in sight
Then if the right ain’t right
The left’s what’s left
And left alone you know what’s right

Maybe a deeper truth’s lurking
Out there in the mist
Maybe all roads lead you home
Maybe in every lifetime
That moment will exist
When you shake your head
And pick up that comb …

I started to part my hair on the
Left side, not the right
And holy smoke, my luck did change
Started to part my hair on the
Left side, not the right
From that day on a
Spark did light
From that day on the
Left was right
