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 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 a 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 a lady tonight
