Lady Luck

I got some bills this morning

They tumbled through the door

I counted every penny but

The bills still came to more



And printed in the paper

For Pisces it did say

'If you would just be bolder

Then this might be your day'



It said, 'Lady Luck apologizes

For the way she's been behavin'

And she promises she'll change'



'If you don't want to know her, she'll understand

But if you'd like to take her hand

She could be back at your command'



So I ran round the corner

The bookies there I entered

Put ten quid on a mare

From a stud in Kildare



But though the jockey beat her

In Belgium they will eat her

The tannoy began to rip

As I tore up the slip



It said, 'Lady Luck apologizes

For the way she's been behavin'

And she promises she'll change'



'If you don't want to know her, she'll understand

But if you'd like to take her hand

She could be back at your command'



I met a girl this evening

And I began to think

That I might get her drunk

But she matched me drink for drink



So when she drew the curtains

I felt success was certain

But as she kicked me out

She spoke in the third person



Lady Luck apologizes

For the way she's been behavin'

And she promises she'll change



If you don't want to know her, she'll understand

But if you'd like to take her hand

She could be back at your command



Lady Luck apologizes

For the way she's been behavin'

And she promises she'll change



If you don't want to know her, she'll understand

But if you'd like to take her hand

She could be back at your command
