A spoken-word performance where the narrator pleads with Lady Luck to behave herself for one night, criticizing her for being unpredictable and abandoning him. He repeats the refrain "Luck, be a lady tonight" while outlining expectations of loyalty and restraint, before finally saying goodbye as she leaves.
3. 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 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. Good morning. 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. Look, let a gentleman see. Oh, how nice, how nice a dame you can be. I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with. Look, 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 this party polite. Never get out of my sight. Stick with me, baby. I'm the fella you came in with. Lucky. Be a lady tonight. Be a lady tonight. Luck, let a gentleman see. Oh, how nice, how nice a dame you can be. I know the way you treated other guys you've been with. Luck, be a lady with me. A lady doesn't leave her escort. It isn't fair, oh, and it's not nice. A lady doesn't wander all over the room and blow on some other guy's dice. So let's keep this party polite. Never get out of my sight. Psst. Stick with me, baby, I'm the best. Goodbye, you gave it with luck. Be a lady. Luck be a lady. Luck be a lady tonight. Goodbye.
