She's A Lady Lyrics - Perry Como

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!
