The Lady Is A Square - 1959

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 15 Feb 2002

She is one of airs and graces
She is full of cultured traces
Her looks and charms are all the rage,
But she's not of this modern age.

She tilts her nose when they're playing bop,
she won't let rip at the local hop;
when I sing cool she hollers stop,
The Lady is a square.
The string quartette's her only pride,
when jiving starts she runs and hides,
she never takes a ragtime ride;
The Lady is a Square.
She never taps her pretty feet
or dances 'neath the moon;
she never stops a diggin' me
but she won't dig this tune.
She won't look in at the jambouree,
she can't stand upbeat harmony;
when I hit the rock she can't stand me:
The Lady is a Square.

She tilts her nose when they're playing bop,
she won't let rip at the local hop;
when I sing cool she hollers stop,
The Lady is a square.
The string quartette's her only pride,
when jiving starts she runs and hides,
she never takes a ragtime ride;
The Lady is a Square.
She never taps her pretty feet
or dances 'neath the moon;
she never stops a diggin' me
but she won't dig this tune.
She won't look in at the jambouree,
she can't stand upbeat harmony;
when I hit the rock she can't stand me:
The Lady is a Square.
