She's a Lady

She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady! She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady! She's as quiet as a mouse Why, she would never ever raise her voice to a shout Not unless somebody else is drownin' me out! Yes, She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady! High floutin' ~ You're darn tootin'! And her manners are superb Yesterday I wore a gown of satin an' lace, You took me out dinin' to the ritziest place And when they brought the finger bowl, Why you washed your face! Ah! I'm a Lady! ~ She's a Lady ~ Oh yeah! He's a Lover! ~ I'm a Lover! He's big hearted! ~ Once I've started! Nothin' is good for you! Say, how do you mean that? I bought you a golden necklace fit for a Queen If that's a golden necklace, why's my neck turnin' green? He's Romantic! ~ I'm Romantic! He's the shy type! ~ Yes, it's my type! He's the kind that girls can't trust! Some guys take a girl out ridin' an' when they do, She may have to walk home, that don't happen to you! That's because I take them riding in a canoe Oh! He's a lover! ~ I'm a lover ~ Oh yeah! She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady! She's the fine type ~ Home at nine type! She's as gentle as a lamb! She's the most refined girl that the city has got I will beat up anyone who says that I'm not! She's a High-Brow ~ I'm a High-Brow! You're what 'class' is! ~ You need glasses! You know just how things are done In a crowded bus, you find a guy with a seat Then you drop your hanky so it lands at his feet When he stands up to get it, that's when I grab his seat! Yes, She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady! ~ Oh yeah! He's a Singer! ~ I'm a Singer! Like Caruso! ~ Learned to do so, In a barber-shop quartet I once gave a hair-cut to a fellow one day I started singing "Mammy" an' kept cutting away Yeah, now they call him 'baldy' an' he wears a toupee! You're a Lady! ~ You're a Barber! You're a High-Brow! ~ You're a Sin-ger! Hee hee, I'm a Sin-ger? ~ Ha, ha ha ha! She's a Lady ~ Ah! He's a Sin-ger! ~ Oh yeah! Words and Music by Cy Coben, 1950
