I have been trying to recall the lyrics of LUCK IS A LADY TONIGHT, without much
luck. Can someone tell me the lyrics, or tell me how to get the lyrics without
buying the record?

Among the lyrics for Luck Be a Lady, Donna offered:

>What kind of dame you can be
>I know you (something) other guys you been with
>Luck be a lady with me.

It really is:
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with"

>
>A lady wouldn't (something) walk out on me
>When I've bet my life on this roll

A lady wouldn't make little snake eyes at me

>So let's keep the party polite
>Don't (something) out of my sight
>(don't know this line)
>Luck be a lady tonight

Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the fellow/fella you came in with

And then you can add:

Roll will ya, Roll will ya?
What's the matter? Roll the dice!....
Comin' out, comin' out, comin' out, comin' out right.
HAH!


Oh, yeah, and the beginning is:
They call you Lady Luck,
But there is room for doubt.
Some 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 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......

Here you go -- hope this helps! It's from the 1992 version of Guys and
Dolls with Nathan Lane as Nathan Detroit and Faith Prince as Miss
Adelaide.

Luck Be A Lady

(Spoken) Skye:
Give me the dice and give me room.
You've seen me roll for a hundred gees
But I've a little more than dough riding on this one.
First verse:
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 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 fella you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady


Luck be a lady tonight

Chorus:


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
Skye: Luck let a gentleman see
(Chorus: Luck let a gentleman see)
Skye: How nice a dame you can be
(Chorus: How nice a dame you can be)
Skye: I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
(Chorus: Luck be a lady -- a lady)
Skye and chorus: Luck be a lady with me
Skye: 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 bet my life on
this roll
(Chorus: No... No... No... Snake eyes... No)
Skye: So, let's keep the party polite
(Chorus: So, let's keep the party polite)
Skye: Never get out of my sight
(Chorus: Never get out of my sight)
Skye: Stick with me baby I'm the fella you came in with
(Chorus: Stick here, baby....Stick here, baby.)
Skye: Luck be a lady
(Chorus: Luck be a lady)
Skye: Luck be a lady
(Chorus: Luck be a lady)
Skye: Luck be a lady
(Chorus: What's the matter? Roll the dice!)
Skye: Tonight!

>much
>luck.

I just heard Sinatra sing the whole thing on the Jazz Channel (about an hour
ago).
There are websites devoted to lyrics. Just do a search (it might be
"www.lyrics.ch", but I don't remember)

All I remember is:

Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck if you ever were a lady to begin with


Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see

What kind of dame you can be

I know you (something) other guys you been with
Luck be a lady with me.

A lady wouldn't flirt with strangers

She'd have a heart, she'd have a sole


A lady wouldn't (something) walk out on me

When I've bet my life on this roll

So let's keep the party polite

Don't (something) out of my sight
(don't know this line)

Luck be a lady tonight

(That's all I remember ...)

Donna

"I don't want to be led into the 21st Century --
I want to arrive fashionably late."

jen...@hotmail.com offered:

>(Chorus: No... No... No... Snake eyes... No)

At least in our version, it was "Roll 'em..Roll 'em...Roll 'em...Snake eyes...
Roll 'em Roll 'em Roll 'em."

And the end had "Roll will ya? Roll will ya?" before "What's the matter? Roll
the dice!", followed by the chorus "Comin' out, comin' out, comin' out, comin'
out right. HAH!" while Sky held "Tonight!"

Just my two cents

LUCK BE A LADY
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser

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 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 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 guys' dice

So lets keep the party polite


Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby I'm the fella 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 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 bet my life on this roll

So lets keep the party polite


Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby I'm the fella you came in with

Luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady tonight!
