They call her Lady Luck
But there is room for doubt
At times she has a very un-lady-like way of running out
She's on this date with me
The picking's have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
She might give me the brush
She might forget her manners
She might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Hot gyal
Hot gyal inna hot tings
Top gyal, lucky girl, aye

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 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 with me baby, I'm the fella that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

Dem bashment gyal yah
Hot gyal
Tun up ting we a talk bout
Aye

A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it is not 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 with me baby, I'm the fella that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady tonight
