Words & Music: Aaron Schroeder/ Wally Gold
Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
Recorded: 1961/10/15, first released on single

uh huh huh. Good back in the day but it doesnt hold up as well today. Sounds more dated than his 50's songs. Maple syrup pop.

This could have easily have been a double A side single with the superb Anything That's Part of You. Another UK number one for Elvis and it would appear that he could do no wrong...

This and others perfect songs from the early 60's, can give Elvis with full justice, the title of "King of Pop"...

Pure pop which was the norm for 1962 singles. Elvis in top form. A little too pop for me, I prefer a little more edge in his singing, but still a great record. Cant complain. 1962 was the last truly golden year for Elvis, when he could do nothing wrong. The tides and the music scene were soon to change and Elvis would no longer be an automatic top 10.

A song that had the potential to be just another boring early 60's pop tune was dramatically enhanced by the man who made it a hit. While not one of my favorites (I do like it very much), Elvis gives this song life with his amazing voice and I can not give it anything less than 4 1/2 stars. The flipside "Anything That's Part Of You" is even better.

From a time when Elvis was the number one without any question. A good bouncy number with the Jordanaires there to help out. The flip side Anything That's Part Of You will forever be in my top twenty Elvis songs.

Oh yes, Elvis in tip top form with this recording / release. Just pure Elvis and pure pop with Elvis having an 8 week stay at #1 in the Uk. A great song, good lyrics, nice soft rock beat and Elvis adding his special touch. The early 1960's was a golden area in the Uk for Elvis. #1's with Stuck on You, It's Now or Never, Are you lonesome Tonight, Wooden Heart, Surrender, Wild in the Country, His latest Flame, Can't help falling in Love, Good Luck Charm, She's not You, Return to Sender, Devil in Disguise & Crying in the Chapel. Some list {Did I miss any} On yes, some flip sides, Fame & Forture, Little Sister & Rock-a-hula-Baby.
