Comments:

This is the moment in the show when Vivian expresses her joy and disbelief at successfully negotiating a $3,000 deal to stay with Edward for the rest of the week.

"Luckiets Girl" was the last song written for the project, towards the end of our "out-of-town previews" in Chicago. The previous song to occupy this spot ("Look At Me Now") was an up-tempo number in the Motown style of "You Can't Hurry Love". But despite serving the scene for nearly two years, Jerry eventually decided the song wasn't right. I agree. "Look At Me Now" never quite settled in. It was the one song that didn't seem to fit.

That said, it was a real challenge coming up with a better song. We finally hit upon the idea of writing something in a Gospel style ... I mean, how better to express joy and exuberance than Gospel music?
Lyrics:

Vivian:
 MY BODY’S SHAKING
MY SKIN IS TINGLING
ALL MY SENSES ARE IN OVERLOAD

I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME 
I MADE A DEAL FOR THREE THOUSAND BUCKS     
MY HEAD FEELS LIKE IT’S GONNA EXPLODE

DON'T WANT THIS FEELIN' TO GO A WAY
WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHERE I WAS YESTERDAY
IT'S SO AMAZING
I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT A BILLIONAIRE WOULD CARE
ABOUT A GIRL LIKE ME

I'VE GOT MONEY TO SPEND
I'VE GOT CHAMPAGNE ON ICE
THERE'S A SMILE ON MY FACE
I'M GETTIN' TREATED REAL NICE

I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE
THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

SOMEBODY PINCH ME, THIS CAN'T BE TRUE
IF I DESERVE THIS TELL ME WHAT DID I DO?

HE COULD GET A MILLION GIRLS FOR FREE
ANYONE HE WANTS
BUT HE SEEMS TO WANT ME

LOOK AT THIS - HERE I AM ON THE TOP FLOOR
EVERYTHING IS FIRST CLASS
EVERYTHING IS TOP DRAWER

I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE
THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

OH, IT'S A LONG LONG WAY FROM A SMALL TOWN IN GEORGIA
TO BEVERLY HILLS, CA
IF THIS KEEPS ON GOING I CAN HARDLY IMAGINE
WHERE I MIGHT BE
WHAT I MIGHT SEE
WHEN I WALK OUT THAT DOOR IN SIX DAYS

Kit:
 OH MY GOD - THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I GAVE YOU THAT GUY

WELL YOU MIGHT THINK
YOU'VE GOT IT MADE
BUT ALWAYS START BY MAKING SURE
THAT YOU GET PAID

Vivian:
 HE SAID TWO
I SAID FOUR
WE SETTLED ON THREE
AND THAT'S A WHOLE LOT MORE

Kit:
YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME
WE'VE GOT ONE GIRL TO THANK

Vivian:
 THE RENT'S GETTIN' PAID

Vivian and Kit:
 AND THERE'S CASH IN THE BANK

Kit:
 I'M STARTING TO FEEL
YOU'RE THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

Vivian:
 I'M STARTING TO FEEL
LIKE THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

Vivian and Kit:
 I'M STARTING TO FEEL
LIKE WE'RE THE LUCKIEST GIRLS IN THE WORLD
