They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you've had a very unlady like way
Of running out

You're on this date with me
The pickens 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 gentlemen 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 escourt
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 me with me baby
I'm the fella 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 guy's you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady doesn't leave her escourt
It isn't fair and it's not nice
A lady doesn't wonder all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Sick with me baby I'm the guy you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, tonight
