Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner
Music: Frederick Loewe
"Doolittle (sings)
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,
Theyâll go out and start supporting you!
All â Jamie, Harry, and Chorus (SATB) (sing)
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of luck,
Theyâll work for you.
He doesnât have a tuppence in his pocket;
The poorest bloke youâll ever hope to meet.
He doesnât have a tuppence in his pocket, but,
With a little bit of luck,
With a little bit of luck,
Heâll be movinâ up to easy street.
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of luck,
Heâs movinâ up.
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of bloominâ luck!
Dance
(Doolittle dances with the crowd.
At end of dance, Alfie gets birdcage and fan from Harry and Jamie and crosses with the crowd following.)
All
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of bloominâ luck!"
