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 this date with me
the pickin's 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 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 doesn't leave her escort
it isn't fair
it isn't nice

a lady doesn't wonder 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 im the fellow
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 guys you've been with
yeah luck be a lady with me

a lady doesn't leave her escort
it isn't fair
and its not nice

a lady doesn't wonder all over the room
and blow on some other guys dice

so lets keep the party polite
never get out of my sight
stick with me baby im the guy that
you came in with
luck be a lady
luck be a lady
luck be a lady tonight
