The Roches
The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane
[Verse 1]
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
Disturbing 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

[Post-Chorus]
Bum budda bum bum bum bum
Bum budda bum bum bum

[Verse 2]
You should see 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 refreshment
The lady never, never says no
[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

[Post-Chorus]
Bum budda bum bum bum bum
Bum budda bum bum bum
Bum budda bum bum bum bum
Bum budda bum bum bum

[Verse 3]
The things they're trying to pin on her (The naughty lady)
Will hold much water, I'm sure (The naughty lady)
Beneath the powder and fancy lace (The naughty lady)
There beats a heart sweet and pure (The naughty lady)
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

[Chorus]
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
