Lyrics

  1. 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
  2. The Lord above made man to help his 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’ll never work

Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow
But with a little bit of luck you’ll run amok
The gentle sex was made for man to marry
To tend his needs 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 blooming luck
