Have you seen her, ain't she great?
She's something you'll appreciate,
I'm sure you understand just what I mean.
Ev'rybody, Ev'rywhere,
is falling for her now
I'm talkin' 'bout the new Ford,
and boy, it's sure a wow!

Lay off people, lay off folks
none of your sarcastic jokes,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie,
No more bruises, no more aches,
Now she's got those four wheel brakes,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
She's even got a rumble seat,
and lots of style and class,
the horn just seems to holler out:
"Toot Toot they shall not pass."
The Lincoln cars just yell out loud
that they are mighty, mighty proud,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.

Now she's even learned to stop
for ev'ry single traffic cop,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
Not a rattle, not a bit,
Lizzie now has lots of "it"
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
There's ev'rything inside her now
except a kitchen sink;
A mirror and a powder puff,
a shower bath, I think.
I'll bet my sox that this Miss Ford,
will live as long as Fanny Ward,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.

When you see her, you'll agree,
she's just the one for you and me,
She's ev'rything that anyone could ask.
Sittin' pretty, yes I am,
with her I'm always found
you oughta see her chassis
it's sure the best around!

C.O.D. and F.O.B.
all you need is Do Re Mi
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
Since he lifted up her face,
she travels at an awful pace;
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
She's not like Calvin Coolidge,
She a girl who likes her fun;
She says Imagine anyone
who doesn't choose to run
They used to keep her with the cow,
but gee, you ought to see her now.
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.

Lay off people, lay off folks
none of your sarcastic jokes,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie,
No more bruises, no more aches,
Now she's got those four wheel brakes,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
She's even got a rumble seat,
and lots of style and class,
the horn just seems to holler out:
"Toot Toot they shall not pass."
The Lincoln cars just yell out loud
that they are mighty, mighty proud,
Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
