They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady like way
Of runnin' out

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 gentle man see
A just how nice, just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you treated other guys that 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

Oh, let's keep this party polite
Never work it out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentle man see
Just how nice, a dame you can be
I know the way you treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, and it ain't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice

Come on, 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
A luck be a lady, a luck be a lady
Luck be a lady tonight
