WHO WAS THAT LADY
(James Van Heusen (m) / Sammy Cahn (l) 1960)

Dean Martin 1960



Who was that lady
That fabulous lady
That lady I saw you with last night.

Tell me, was she an angel
If she was an angel
She sure kept her wings out of sight.

Pardon my asking
But was she thrilling
And was she willing
To kiss the evening away.

Say who was that lady
I knew such a lady
And foolishly let her out of my life.

So if she's the one
Please spare me the pun
I'd sure miss the fun in that was no lady
That was my wife.

Who was that lady
I knew such a lady
And foolishly let her out of my life.

So if she's the one
Please spare me the pun
I'd sure miss the fun in that old crawler
No joke is duller
Than that was no lady
That was my wife.
