Luck Be a Lady Lyrics - Guys and Dolls Soundtrack

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 this 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 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 gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I've know 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.

[break in original broadway cast]

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

Luck let a gentleman see

How nice a dame you can be

How nice a dame you can be

I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with

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

Luck be a lady with me

[end break]

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
(Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, snake eyes)
When I've bet my life on this roll.
(Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em! )

So let's keep the party polite
(why don't he shoot)
(why don't he shoot)

Never get out of my sight
(c'mon you're stallin')

Stick with me, baby, I'm the fellow you came in with
(c'mon shoot)
Luck be a lady
(guy's turnin' yella)
Luck be a lady
(what'a ya scared of)
Luck be a lady...
(what's the matter role the dice )
Tonight!
(Coming out, coming out, coming out, coming out)
(Coming out right! Ha!)
