They call you lady luck,
But there is room for doubt,
At times you've had a very unlady like way
Of running out.
You're on this date with me,
The pickens have been lush,
And yet before this 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 gentlemen 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 with me.
A lady doesn't leave her escourt,
It isn't fair, it isn't nice,
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice.
Let's keep this party polite,
Never get out of my sight,
Stick me with me baby
I'm the fella you came in with,
Luck be a lady tonight.
Luck let a gentleman see,
Just how nice, how nice a dame you can be,
I know the way you've treated other guy's you've been with,
Luck be a lady with me.
A lady doesn't leave her escourt,
It isn't fair and it's not nice,
A lady doesn't wonder all over the room,
And blow on some other guys dice.
So let's keep the party polite,
Never get out of my sight,
Sick with me baby I'm the guy you came in with,
Luck be a lady,
luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady, tonight.
