|
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
|
