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  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 laugin' 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 inconsistancy  So why don't you give us all a break  Make us all rich healthy and fine  Five months 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 street 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  Don't push me over  When I can't stand up, oh yeah  Sure it's a funny old world  Sure it's a funny old world
