(I've Got) Beginner's Luck - Ella Fitzgerald, Nelson Riddle

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 always heard

And thought absurd

But now, I believe every word

For 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

There never was such a smile

Or such eyes of blue

Gosh, I’m fortunate

The 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

Cause the first time that I’m in love

I’m in love with you

(bridge)

The 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

Cause the first time that I’m in love

Yes, the first time that I’m in love

Oh, the first time that I’m in love

I’m in love with you

I’m in love with you

I’m in love with you

I’m in love with you
