Eadie Was a Lady - Cab Calloway

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 sheâ??d 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. Oâ??Grady

Eadie had class, with a capital K
