They call you Lady Luck. 
But there is room for doubt 
At times you have a very unladylike way of running out 
You're this a date with me 
The pickings 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 to 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 gentleman see 
How nice a dame you can be 
I've seen 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. 
So let's keep the party polite 
Never get out of my sight 
Stick with me baby, I'm the fellow you came in with 
Luck be a lady 
Luck be a lady 
Luck be a lady tonight. 

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, a lady, be a lady with me. 
Luck be a lady with me 

A lady wouldn't flirt with strangers 
She'd have a heart, she'd have a soul 
A lady wouldn't make little snake eyes at me 
When I've got my life on this roll. 

Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, snake eyes 
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em! 

So let's keep the party polite 
Never get out of my sight 

[crapshooters]

Never get out of my sight. 
Stick here, baby, stick here, baby. 

Stick with me, baby, I'm the fellow you came in with 
Luck be a lady 
Luck be a lady 
Luck be a lady tonight. 

Coming out, coming out, coming out 
Right!
