Luck Ain't a Lady

[daibhidc]

"And who are you?" snapped Cohen, still red with rage.
"I? I ... am the million-to-one chance," she said.
"Yeah?" said Cohen, less impressed than the minstrel thought he ought to be. "And who are all the other chances?"
"I am those, also."
Cohen sniffed. "Then you ain’t no lady."
--The Last Hero

They call you Lady Luck,
But there is room for doubt.
Sometimes you have a very unladylike way,
Of running out.

You've joined me on this quest,
As companion and guide.
And yet before this battle is over,
You may just step aside.

You might forget your manners,
You might refuse to stay,
So bugger that, here's what I have to say:

Luck ain't a lady, alright?
Luck ain't a lady, alright?
I don't know why she's called the Lady to begin with,
Luck ain't a lady, alright?

They say fortune favours the brave,
Tell that to those in the grave,
I've seen too many enter battles they don't walk from,
Luck ain't a lady, alright?

A lady doesn't leave her champion,
It isn't fair, it isn't right.
A lady doesn't snatch her favour away,
When you're in the middle of the fight!

Don't expect I'll be polite.
I want you out of my sight.
I'll take my chances, although it's one in a million,
Luck ain't a lady,
Luck ain't a lady,
Luck ain't a lady, alright?
