Luck Be a Lady
[SKY, spoken]
All right, put down your markers
Give me the dice
And give me some room

[A PLAYER, spoken]
Come on, quit stallin'
Roll!

[HARRY, spoken]
What's the matter, Sky, turning chicken?

[SKY, spoken]
You've seen me roll for a hundred G's. I've got a little more and dough riding on this one

[SKY, sung]
They call you Lady Luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very unlady-like
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 rеfuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Luck bе 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 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
[ENSEMBLE]
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

[SKY]
Luck, let a gentleman see

[CRAP SHOOTERS]
Luck, let a gentleman see

[SKY]
How nice a dame you can be

[CRAP SHOOTERS]
How nice a dame you can be

[SKY, CRAP SHOOTERS]
I know the way you've treated (Luck be a lady)
Other guys you've been with (A lady)
Luck, be a lady with me (Be a lady with me)

A lady wouldn't flirt with strangers
She'd have heart, she'd have a soul
A lady wouldn't make little (Roll 'em, roll 'em)
Snake eyes at me when (Roll 'em, snake eyes)
I've bet my life on this (Roll 'em, roll 'em)
Roll (Roll 'em)

[SKY]
So let's keep the party polite

[CRAP SHOOTERS]
So let's keep the party polite

[SKY]
Never get out of my sight

[CRAP SHOOTERS]
Never get out of my sight

[SKY, CRAP SHOOTERS]
Stick with me
Baby, I'm the (Stick here)
Fellow you came (Baby)
In with (Stick here)
Luck (Baby)
Be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck (Roll, will ya)
Be a (Roll, will ya)
Lady (What's the matter)
Tonight (Roll the dice!)
Comin' out
Comin' out
Comin' out
Comin' out
Right
Ha!
