Luck Be a Lady (Loesser)
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

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 pickings 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 ever been a lady to begin with luck be a lady tonight
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 with me
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
So, let's keep the party polite,
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I’m the fella you came in with,
Luck be a lady,
Mmm, luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady tonight

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!
SKY
Yeah, luck let a gentleman see, (Luck let a gentleman see)
how nice a dame you can be, (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 wouldn't flirt with strangers,
She’d have heart, she’d have a soul.
A lady wouldn't make little sneak eyes at me,
When I've bet my life on this roll.
So lets keep the party polite, (So lets keep the party polite)
Never get out of my sight (Never get out of my sight)
Stick with me baby, I’m the fella you came in with,
Luck be a lady...
Luck be a lady...
Luck be a lady, lady...
Luck be a lady...
Luck be lady tonight!
