(i've Got) Beginners Luck

Fred Astaire · Other Songs - Fred Astaire

At any gambling casino

From Monte Carlo to Reno,

They tell you that a beginner

Comes out a winner.

Beginner fishing for flounder

Will catch a seventeen pounder;

That's what I've always heard

And always thought absurd,

But now I believe ev'ry word!



For I've got beginner's luck;

The first time I'm in love

I'm in love with you,

Gosh I'm lucky!



I've got beginner's luck;

There never was such a smile

Or such eyes of blue,

Gosh I'm fortunate!



This thing we've begun

Is much more than a pastime,

For this time is the one

Where the first time is the last time!



I've got beginner's luck,

Lucky through and through,

For the first time that I'm in love,

I'm in love with you!



I've got beginner's luck;

The first time I'm in love

I'm in love with you,

Gosh I'm lucky!



I've got beginner's luck;

They told me beginners win,

Now I know it's true,

Gosh I'm fortunate!



This thing we've begun

Is much more than a pastime,

For this time is the one

Where the first time is the last time!



I've got beginner's luck,

Lucky through and through,

For the first time that I'm in love,

I'm in love with you!
