SHE'S A LADY
(Cy Coben)
Perry Como & Betty Hutton - 1950
PC: She's a Lady
BH: I'm a Lady!
PC: She's a Lady
BH: I'm a Lady!
PC: She's as quiet as a mouse
Why, she would never ever raise her voice to a shout
BH: Not unless somebody else is drownin' me out!
PC: Yes, She's a Lady
BH: I'm a Lady!
PC: High faloutin'
BH: You're darn tootin'!
PC: And her manners are superb
BH: Yesterday I wore a gown of satin an' lace,
You took me out dinin' to the ritziest place
PC: And when they brought the finger bowl,
Why you washed your face!
BH: Ah! I'm a Lady!
PC: She's a Lady
BH: Oh yeah!
BH: He's a Lover!
PC: I'm a Lover!
BH: He's big hearted!
PC: Once I've started!
Nothin' is good for you!
BH: Say, how do you mean that?
PC: I bought you a golden necklace fit for a Queen
BH: If that's a golden necklace, why's my neck turnin' green?
BH: He's Romantic!
PC: I'm Romantic!
BH: He's the shy type!
PC: Yes, it's my type!
BH: 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!
PC: That's because I take them riding in a canoe
BH: Oh! He's a lover!
PC: I'm a lover
BH: Oh yeah!
PC: She's a Lady
BH: I'm a Lady!
PC: She's the fine type
BH: Home at nine type!
PC: She's as gentle as a lamb!
She's the most refined girl that the city has got
BH: I will beat up anyone who says that I'm not!
PC: She's a High-Brow
BH: I'm a High-Brow?
PC: You're what class is!
BH: You need glasses!
PC: 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
BH: When he stands up to get it, that's when I grab his seat!
PC: Yes, She's a Lady
BH: I'm a Lady!
PC: Oh yeah!
BH: He's a Singer!
PC: I'm a Singer!
BH: Like Caruso!
PC: 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
BH: Yeah, now they call him 'baldy' an' he wears a toupee!
PC: You're a Lady!
BH: You're a Barber!
PC: You're a High-Brow!
BH: You're a Sin-ger!
PC: Hee hee, I'm a Sin-ger?
BH: Ha, ha ha ha!
PC: She's a Lady
BH: Ah! He's a Sin-ger!, Oh yeah!
