Lyrics
you know just how things are done
You need glasses, and when they brought the finger bowl, she s a lady i m a lady
Yesterday i wore a gown of satin an lace, that don t happen to you
I bought you a golden necklace fit for a queen, i bought you a golden necklace fit for a queen
How do you mean that, if that s a golden necklace
Not unless somebody else is drownin me out, he s the shy type Shes, he s romantic
he s romantic
Not unless somebody else is drownin me out, he s big hearted
She s a lady i m a lady, you re a sin-ger, she s a lady i m a lady
She would never ever raise her voice to a shout, in a barber-shop quartet, how do you mean that
I m a lover oh yeah, she s a lady i m a lady, she s the most refined girl that the city has got
You took me out dinin to the ritziest place, that don t happen to you
That don t happen to you, she s as gentle as a lamb
That don t happen to you, i started singing mammy an kept cutting away Shes, i m romantic
and when they brought the finger bowl
You took me out dinin to the ritziest place, you re a sin-ger, she s a lady ah
then you drop your hanky so it lands at his feet
He s a lover, you re a lady
nothin is good for you
Words and music by, yesterday i wore a gown of satin an lace
He s romantic, i m a singer Shes, she s a lady oh yeah
And when they brought the finger bowl, he s big hearted
You took me out dinin to the ritziest place, she s a lady i m a lady
And her manners are superb, she s the fine type home at nine type
Once i ve started, you took me out dinin to the ritziest place, he s a lover
How do you mean that, then you drop your hanky so it lands at his feet
yesterday i wore a gown of satin an lace
