Eadie Was A Lady Composer(s): Richard Whiting - Nacio Herb Brown - Buddy De Sylva Performer(s): Ethel Merman and multiple other artists
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 shed 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. OGrady Eadie had class, with a capital K
