Luck Be A Lady

Writer(s): Loesser

They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out

Your on this date with me
The pickin's have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush

You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady dosen't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Luck let a gentleman see

Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady dosen't leave her escort
It isn't fair, and it's not nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

so, Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight

Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

luck be a lady...
luck be a lady...
luck be a lady...tonight
