Luck Be a Lady

[Intro]
They call you Lady Luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very unladylike way of running out
You're 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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady to me

[Bridge]
A lady wouldn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady wouldn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice

[Verse 3]
So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me, baby, I'm the fellow you come in with
Luck be a lady tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
A lady wouldn't flirt with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd have a soul
A lady wouldn't make little snake eyes at me
When I bet my life on this roll

[Outro]
So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me, baby, I'm the fellow you come in with
Luck be a lady
(Luck be a lady)
Luck be a lady
(Luck be a lady)
Luck be a lady tonight
