Luck Be A Lady Tonight
Frank Sinatra · Other Songs - Frank Sinatra
But there is room for doubt
At times you've had a very un lady like way of running out
You're on this date with me
The Pickens 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
Let's keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick me with me baby, I'm the fella you came in with
Luck, be a lady tonight
Luck, let a gentleman see
Just how nice , 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 , 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 the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, tonight
Luck Be A Lady Tonight
Frank Sinatra's 'Luck Be A Lady Tonight' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery of the mid-tempo pop standard. Recorded during the height of his career, the track showcases his signature smooth vocal delivery and sophisticated phrasing, characteristic of the swing era. Sinatra often collaborated with composers like Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen to create songs that balanced romantic sentiment with a cool, detached delivery. This recording exemplifies that style, inviting listeners into a world of subtle emotion rather than overt drama. As part of his extensive discography, the song remains a staple in the repertoire of those who appreciate the art of vocal interpretation and the timeless appeal of classic American pop music.
