i ve got beginner s luck

Ella Fitzgerald

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
