Have you seen the latest Mascot?
The Billiken Man.
He's the greatest title Mascot
Since the world began.
Has that hypnotizing smile,
makes you cheerful all the while,
The Billiken, the Billiken Man.

Billiken, Billiken,
you funny creation,
You look so cute
that you've a queer fascination,
Smile upon me
I want to be
lucky as I can.
Billiken, Billiken,
good luck you've brought to me,
'cause you're the God of all things
as they ought to be.
Funny, sunny, all the money,
The Billiken Man.

Billiken, Billiken,
you funny creation,
You look so cute
that you've a queer fascination,
Smile upon me
I want to be
lucky as I can.
Billiken, Billiken,
good luck you've brought to me,
'cause you're the God of all things
as they ought to be.
Funny, sunny, all the money,
The Billiken Man.

Once a flying auto hit me
Right on the head.
Doctor he came up to get me,
Said the man is dead.
I said: "Doctor I'm not dead."
"I know best," the Doctor said.
I'm Billiken, The Billiken Man.

Billiken, Billiken,
you funny creation,
You look so cute
that you've a queer fascination,
Smile upon me
I want to be
lucky as I can.
Billiken, Billiken,
good luck you've brought to me,
'cause you're the God of all things
as they ought to be.
Funny, sunny, all the money,
The Billiken Man.

Billiken, Billiken,
you funny creation,
You look so cute
that you've a queer fascination,
Smile upon me
I want to be
lucky as I can.
Billiken, Billiken,
good luck you've brought to me,
'cause you're the God of all things
as they ought to be.
Funny, sunny, all the money,
The Billiken Man.
