The naughty lady of Shady Lane

Has hit the town like a bomb

The back-fence gossip ain't been this good

Since Mabel ran off with Tom

Our town was peaceful and quiet

Before she came on the scene

The lady has started a riot

Disturbin' the suburban routine



CHORUS

The naughty lady of Shady Lane has the town in a whirl

The naughty lady of Shady Lane

Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl



You should see how she carries on

With her admirers galore

She must be givin' them quite a thrill

The way they flock to her door

She throws those come-hither glances

At every Tom, Dick, and Joe

When offered some liquid refreshment

The lady never never says "no"



CHORUS



The things they're trying to pin on her

Won't hold much water, for sure

Beneath the powder and fancy lace

There beats a heart sweet and pure

She just needs someone to change her

And she'll be nice as can be

If you're in the neighborhood, stranger

You're welcome to drop in and see



The naughty lady of Shady Lane

So delightful to hold

The naughty lady of Shady Lane

So delectable

Quite respectable

And she's only NINE DAYS OLD!!!
