Il testo della 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!
