Luck be a Lady. Frank Sinatra. Vídeo, letra e información.

¿Quién es Frank Henry Loesser? El padre de este Luck be a lady que interpretaba en 1951 Robert Alda en el Musical Guys and Dolls, o Marlon Brando en la versión cinematográfica de 1955, o Barbara Streissand en su Back to Broadway. Guys and Dolls sería sólo uno de los exitosos musicales que escribiría y compondría Loesser, que conseguiría un premio de la Academia en 1949 por Baby It’s Cold Outside y un Pulitzer por How to succed in business without really trying en 1962. La lista de éxitos de Loesser se mide también por las ventas de los autores que las han sabido interpretar y dar vida, como Sinatra, que incurría esta Luck Be a Lady en su Sinatra ’65, de, claro, 1965.

They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out

Your on this date with me
The pickins have been lush
And yet before the 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 youve been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way youve treated other guys youve been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady never leaves her escort
It isn’t fair, it isn’t nice
A lady doesnt’t’t wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, Im the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

A lady never flirts with strangers
Shed have a heart, she’d be nice
A lady doesnt’t’t wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, Im the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
