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 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
(Let it swing, baby)
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
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated all these bros 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 guy's dice
Let's keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the dude that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
(yeah!)
Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice
A broad you can be
I've seen the way you've treated all those fools you've been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, and it's not nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's you-know-whats
Let's keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm that guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
To-night
Whoo!
