With A Little Bit O' Luck Lyrics - Singles - My Fair Lady

(Eliza's father): 

The Lord above gave man an arm of iron 

So he could do his job and never shirk. 

The Lord above gave man an arm of iron-but 

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck, 

Someone else'll do the blinkin' work! 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of luck you'll never work! 

The Lord above made liquor for temptation, 

To see if man could turn away from sin. 

The Lord above made liquor for temptation-but 

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck, 

When temptation comes you'll give right in! 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of luck you'll give right in. 

Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow; 

But with a little bit of luck You'll run amuck! 

The gentle sex was made for man to marry, 

To share his nest and see his food is cooked. 

The gentle sex was made for man to marry-but 

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck, 

You can have it all and not get hooked. 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of luck you won't get hooked. 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of bloomin' luck 

The Lord above made man to help is neighbor, 

No matter where, on land, or sea, or foam. 

The Lord above made man to help his neighbor-but 

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck, 

When he comes around you won't be home! 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of luck, You won't be home. 

With a little bit, with a little bit 

With a little bit of bloomin' luck! 

They'rew always throwing goodness at you 

But with a little bit of luck a man can duck 

Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin' 

And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt. 

Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin'-but 

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck, 

You can see the bloodhound don't find out! 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of luck she won't find out! 

With a little bit...with a little bit... 

With a little bit of bloomin' luck! 

A man was made to help support his childrem 

Which is the right and proper thing to do 

A man was made to help support his children but 

With a little bit of luck with a little bit of luck 

They'll go out and start supporting you 

With a little bit with a little bit 

With a little bit of luck they'll work for you 

Instrumental 

He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket 

The poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet 

He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket but 

With a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck 

He'll be movin up to easy street 

With a little bit, with a little bit 

With a little bit of luck he'll move right up 

With a little bit with a little bit 

With a little bit of bloomin luck 

With a little bit of bloomin' luck!
