Mookie and the Magic Egg, Story 2
April Eight Songs & Stories
Taking care of his chickens is one of Mookie’s favorite things to do. But one day, he was gathering eggs in the chicken coop for his Grandpa and found something quite curious. It was an egg, but certainly not a chicken egg. Still, Mookie cared for the green and blue speckled egg and wondered what or who was in there. Mookie carefully watched over the egg. And when it hatched, he and his friends could not believe their eyes!

"It's My Lucky Day" by April Eight, copyright 2016
It's my lucky day, it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day
Brother sun shine down on me
Sister moon she done set us free.
Look around and you will see
This old world is the place to be.
And it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day...
From Juntember to Saturday
All good things gonna come my way.
There is peace between all of us,
In this old life, that's enough.
And it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day...
Everybody talk and don't listen at all
They say pride goes first before a fall
I can tell you a thing or two,
But I can only tell you for myself what's true.
And it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day...
Brother sun shine down on me
Sister moon she done set us free.
Look around and you will see
This old world is the place to be.
And it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day, it's my lucky day...
