LADY LUCK

Lady Luck Here I am on time Proppin' up the bar With a glass of wine Friday night, and I'm all spruced up and fine I ain't goin' nowhere, nowhere Lady Luck, why don't you pull up a chair And bring your shine right wisdom, darlin' over here Your Gaelic humor And your pious smile All the cats'll be laughin' tonight Now you may say it's a funny old world You may say that the game ain't fair Is there a plot or do you improvise Or maybe you don't even care Lady Luck Ain't you the fickle kind Why are some folks lucky While the rest are tryin' You keep on playin' It's still a mystery You're laced with a touch Of inconsistency So why don't you give us all a break Make us all rich, healthy and fine Five month holidays and a four hour week And a horse that wins all the time Lady Luck Hear the mandolins Kind of makes you wonder How it might have been There go all The funny place I've got Back on the streets again Lady Luck Yeah, it's late I know Allow me to buy you one more folderol And tell me something I've been longin' to hear It's gotta get better next year 'Cause I've seen some rainy days My wedding suits are frayed and torn But now the sun comes shining through I've cried in my beer too long Lady Luck, Lady Luck Sure is a funny old world Sure is a funny old world Sure is a funny old world Oh yeah Lady Luck, Lady Luck Don't push me over When I can't stand up Sha la la la la… Oh yeah, yeah Lady Luck I can't stand up, Oh yeah Sure is a funny old world Sure is a funny old world
