ARTIST: Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe TITLE: With a Little Bit of Luck Lyrics and Chords [My Fair Lady] 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 / C G C - / / F - - E7 / F - G C / / F G C - / G - C - / C G C - / 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... / When temptation comes you'll give right in With... you'll give right in Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow But with a little bit of luck you'll run amok / F - C - / D - G - / 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... / You can have it all and not get hooked With... 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... / When he comes around you won't be home With... you won't be home They're always throwin' 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... / You can see the bloodhound don't find out With... she won't find out With a little bit, with a little bit With a little bit of bloomin' luck 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... / He'll be movin' up to easy street With... he's movin' up With a little bit, with a little bit With a little bit of bloomin' luck
