they call you lady luck
but there is room for doubt
at times you have a very un
lady like way of running out
you're on a date with me
the pickings 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 say
and so the best that i can do is well
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 how i'm longing to see
how good a friend you can be
stick with me sister
i'm the one that you came in with
luck be a lady with me
the lady doesn't leave her escort
it isn't fair it isn't nice
the lady doesn't want her all over the joint
and blow on some other guy's dice
so let's keep the party polite
never get out of my sight
stick with me sister
i'm the gal that you came in with
luck be a lady tonight
the lady wouldn't flirt with strangers
she had a heart she would have a soul
the lady wouldn't fake little snake eyes at you
when i'd bet my life on this road
so let's keep the party polite
never get out of my sight
stick with me cal
cause i'm the gal that you came in with
luck be a lady
oh luck be a lady
luck be a lady
too
