Frederick Loewe
With a Little Bit of Luck
[Verse 1]
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
Someone else will do the blinkin' work

[Chorus]
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll never work)

[Verse 2]
The Lord above made liquor for temptation
To see if man could turn away from sin
The Lord above made liquor for temptation
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
When temptation comes you'll give right in

[Chorus]
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll give right in)

[Bridge]
Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow
But with a little bit of luck you'll run amok
[Verse 3]
The gеntle sex was made for man to marry
To sharе his nest and see his food is cooked
The gentle sex was made for man to marry
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
You can have it all and not get hooked

[Chorus]
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll not get hooked)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)

[Verse 4]
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor
No matter where on land or sea or foam
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
When he comes around you won't be home

[Chorus]
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you won't be home)

[Bridge]
They're always throwing goodness at you
But, with a little bit of luck a man can duck
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt
Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
You can see the bloodhound don't find out

[Chorus]
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck she won't find out)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)
