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 lady tonight
Luck be lady tonight
Luck if you've 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 never leaves 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
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 lady tonight
A lady never flirts with
strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd be
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 lady tonight
