Ethel Merman - Eadie Was a Lady текст песни

Maud and Mabel, seated at a table
Talking over bygone days
Mabel sporty, fat and over forty
Said, «Remember Edith Hayes»
Eadie was a sucker for a bottle and glass
But in spite of everything that gal had class
Then one winter, she wed a Chinese printer
Struck her with refined like ways
But Eadie was a lady
(Eadie was a lady)
Though her past was shady
(Though her past was shady)
Eadie had class, with a capital K Though her life was merry
(Though her life was merry)
She had savoir fairey
(Talking of savoir fairey)
Eadie did things in a ladylike way
She would have a golden toothpick handy
After meals she’d flash it about
Remember how she used to drink her brandy
With her finger sticking well out
For Eadie was a lady
(Eadie was a lady)
Ask P. I. O’Grady
Eadie had class with a capital K
