my fair lady de eliza doolittle ın boşgezerin boş tayfası sarhoş ve pragmatist babasının söylediği şarkıdır. yiyelim içelim kam alalım dünyadan, ondan bundan geçinelim rahat rahat çalışmadan yaşayalım, rind olalım coşalım edası sezilir:

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!

alfred 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!
the three with a little bit...with a little bit...
with a little bit of luck you'll give right in.
alfred 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.
the three 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!

alfred 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.

alfred they're always throwin' goodness at you;
but with a little bit of luck a man can duck!
oh, it's a crime for man to go philandrin
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!
the three 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!
he doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket.
the poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet.
he doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket-but
with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck,
he'll be movin' up to easy street.
with a little bit...with a little bit...
with a little bit of luck, he's movin' up.
with a little bit...with a little bit...
with a little bit of bloomin luck!

alan jay lerner ve frederick loewe tarafından 1956 tarihli ve my fair lady adlı ünlü broadway oyunu için bestelenen unutulmaz şarkı. oyunda ve film versiyonunda ilk kez stanley holloway tarafından seslendirilmiştir. gerçekten hareketli ve hoş bir eserdir. sözleri şöyledir;

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 will 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 amok

the gentle sex was made for man t'marry
to share his nest and see his food is cooked
the gentle sex was made for man t'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)

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 won't be home)

they're always throwing goodness at you
but, with a little bit of luck a man can duck

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)

brief instrumental interlude

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 of luck they'll work for you)

(he doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(the poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet)
(he doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(but, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck)
(he'll be movin' up to easy street)
(with a little bit, with a little bit)
(with a little bit of luck i'm movin' up)
(with a little bit, with a little bit)
(with a little bit of bloomin' luck)

bu güzel şarkıyı filmde, audrey hepburn'un (eliza dolittle) babası söylemiştir.

şarkı sırasında bir ara o yılların oy hakkı savunucuları kadınları (suffragett) görerek müftehir olduğumuz şarkı.
