Lady
Luck, here am on time
Propping
up the bar with a glass of wine.
Fiday
night and I'm all spruched up and fine
I
ain’t going nowhere, nowhere.
Lady
Luck, why don't you pull up a chair
And
bring your shamrock wisdom, darling, over here?
Your
Gealic humor and you pious smile...
All
the cats will be laughing 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 is trying?
Your
devine promise's still a mystery
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.
Guitar!
Lady
Luck, hear the mandolins.
Kind
of makes you wonder how it might have been.
There
go all the funny places I've got...
Back
on the streets again!
Lady
Luck, yeah, it's late now.
Allow
me to buy you one more folderol
And
tell me something I've been longing 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 to long.
Lady
Luck
Lady
Luck
Sure
it's a funny old world.
Sure
it's a funny old world.
Sure
it's a funny old world.
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh!
Ooh!
Oh
yeah!
Lady
Luck
Lady
Luck
Don't
push me over when I can't stand up!
Sha
la la la la la la la la la...
Oh
yeah
Yeah
Lady
Luck
I
can't stand up!
Oh
yeah
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
Sure
it's a funny old world.
Sure it's a funny old world.
