[Verse 1] The naughty lady of Shady Lane Has hit the town like a bomb The back-fence gossip hasn'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 Disturbing the suburban routine [Chorus] I mean that naughty lady of Shady Lane Has the town in a whirl The naughty lady of Shady Lane Me-oh my-oh, what a girl [Verse 2] You should she how she carries on With her admirers galore She must be giving 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 refreshments The lady never, never says no [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 Then she'll be nice as can be If you're in the neighborhood, stranger You're welcome to drop in and see [Outro] The naughty lady of Shady Lane So delightful to hold So delectable Quite respectable And she's only nine days old
