Luck Be A Lady

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 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 a lady tonight.
Luck, be a lady tonight.
Luck, if you've 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.

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 guys dice!
Lets 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!
