Eadie was a lady 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 glass

But in spite of everything that gal had class

Then one summer, she wed corset drummer

Struck with her refine like way

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

(She was lady, she was a lady)

Though her life was merry (Though her life was merry)

She had savior fairy (Was a savior fairy)

Eadie did things in a ladylike way

(She was lady, she was a lady)

She would have a golden toothpick handy

After meals she'd flashed it about

'member how she used to drink her brandy

With her finger sticking well out

Oh, Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)

You can ask P. I. O'Grady (Ask P.I O'Grady)

Eadie had class, with a capital K

Oh, Eadie was a lady

You can ask P.I O'Grade

Eadie was a lady, you can ask P.I O'Grady

That Eadie was a lady, oh!
