Henry's Made A Lady Out of Lizzie
Composer(s): Walter O'Keefe



Have you seen her 
Ain't she great?
She's something you'll appreciate
I'm sure you understand just what I mean
Ev'ry body, everywhere, is falling for her now
I'm talking 'bout the new Ford and boy it's sure a wow!
When you see her 
You'll agree
She's just the one for you and me
She's everything that any one could ask
"Sit  tin' pretty yes I am 
With her I'm always found
You "ought  ta" see her Chassis, it's sure the best a round

Talk of this and talk of that
Boys you must take off your hat
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Has she plenty, has she much?
Got the "tin" you love to touch
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
They used to park her in a lot
For that they charged two bits
But now they charge you nothing
And you park her at the Ritz
She once had rattles in her wheel
But now she's full of "sex appeal"
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

She's like all the other vamps
Pretty shape and lovely lamps
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Since she's taken on some weight
Honest, folks, she's looking great
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Her dashboard has a clock
That's a hit with all the Scotch
A Scotchman saw the clock
And promptly stopped his watch
You've all heard the Frenchman song
Fifty million cant be wrong
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

Just a girl who knows her stuff
Plenty fast but never rough
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Always tidy, always clean
Faithful as an old Marine
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
She's not the kind who tries to get
Your money all at once
She only wants ten dollars down
The rest in fourteen months
Good for sister, nice for ma
Ev'rybody rides but Pa
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

Ev'ry groom and blushing bride
Now enjoy their buggy ride
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
No one curses, no one swears
Lizzie never needs repairs
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
She used to kick and jump around
On ev'ry trolley track
But now she's very ladylike
And never answers back
She will surely catch your eye
You know salesmen never lie
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

No more chug  chug  chug  chug-bang!
No more cuss words, no more slang
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Not the noisy flapper kind
Simply quiet and refined
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
They used to say "We own a car
It looks like one I mean"
But now they say, "I'll have you know
We own a Ford machine"'
No more playing Jack and Jill
No more tumbling down the hill
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

When she's coming down the street
All the boys say "Ain't she sweet"?
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Every man will go for her
She's the kind that men prefer
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Why even Thomas Edison
The wizard that he is
Could not resist her charms
And was the first to take out "Liz"
He said "She's Okay to me
All she needs is company"
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
