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, and the pickin's 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
Luck, be lady tonight; luck, be 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 other guys
You've been with, luck be a lady with me
Bridge
A lady never leaves her escort, it isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And then blow on some other guys dice
Let's keep this party polite; never get out of my sight
Stick with me, baby, I'm the guy that
You came in with, luck be lady tonight
A lady never flirts with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd be nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And then blow on some other guys dice
I know the way you've treated other guys
You've been with, luck be a lady with me
