Luck Be a Lady

They call you lady luck But there is room for doubt At times you have a very unladylike 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 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 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 A lady doesn't leave her escort It isn't fair, it isn't nice A lady doesn't wander 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 A lady wouldn't flirt with strangers She'd have a heart, she would have a soul A lady wouldn't make little sneak eyes at you When I've bet my life on this roll So, let's keep the party polite Never get out of my sight Stick with me pal 'cause I'm the gal that you came in with Luck be a lady Oh, luck be a lady Luck be lady tonight
