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
