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 a 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 (Lots of savior fairy)
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 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
