Stanley Holloway - With a Little Bit O' Luck

Alfred: The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk.
The Lord 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 his neighbour
No matter where, on land, or sea, or foam.
The Lord above made man to help his neighbour - 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 o' luck, with a little bit o' luck
They'll go out and start supportin' you!
With a little bit... With a little bit...
With a little bit of luck 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!
