eadie was a lady - cab calloway lyrics
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 gl-ss
but in spite of everything that gal had cl-ss
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 cl-ss, 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 cl-ss, with a capital k
