Lew Stone & His Band
Oh! 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
(Eadie was a lady, Eadie was a lady)
Though her life was merry
(Though her life was merry)
She had savoir fairey
(Lots of savoir fairey)
Eadie did things in a ladylike way
(Eadie was a lady, Eadie was a lady)
She would have a golden toothpick handy
After meals she’d flash it about
You remember how she used to drink her brandy
With her finger sticking well out
Eadie was a lady
(Eadie was a lady)
Ask PC O’Grady
And Eadie had class, with a capital K
(Eadie was a lady)
(Though her past was shady)
(Eadie had class)
(Though her life was merry)
(She had savoir fairey)
(Eadie did things)
Oh! Eadie was a lady
Though her past was shady
Eadie had class, with a capital K
