George Gershwin — Ive Got Beginners Luck

(Chorus) I've got beginner's luck; The first time that I'm in love I'm in love with you Gosh, I'm lucky! I've got beginner's luck; They told me beginners win Now I know it's true Gosh, I'm fortunate! This thing we've begun Is much more than a pastime For this time is the one Where the first time is the last time! I've got beginner's luck Lucky through and through For the first time that I'm in love I'm in love with you! (Verse) At any gambling casino From Monte Carlo to Reno They tell you that a beginner Comes out a winner Beginner fishing for flounder Will catch a 17-pounder That's what I've always heard And always thought absurd But now I believe every word (Chorus 2) I've got beginner's luck; The first time that I'm in love I'm in love with you I've got beginner's luck There never was such a smile Or such eyes of blue This thing we've begun Is much more than a pastime For this time is the one Where the first time is the last time! 'Cause the first time that I'm in love The very first time that I'm in love The first time that I'm in love I'm in love with you!
