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!

They're always throwin' goodness at you

But with a little bit of luck a man can duck!

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!

A man was made to help support his children

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 they'll work for you

With a little bit... with a little bit

With a little bit of bloomin' luck!

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!

With a little bit of bloomin' luck!
