Lady with the book in her hand

She's so studiously engaged

Lady with the book in her hand

Oh so seriously engaged.



Excuse me, what is her name?

I'd like to know

Excuse me, it's going to rain

She'll have to go.



Lady with the book in her hand

Maybe she will be going my way

Lady with the book in her hand

Seems to study her time away.



She takes her spectacles off

And rubs her eyes

Her hair looks ever so soft 

She starts to rise.



Lady with the book in your hand

May I walk along side of you?

Lady with the book in your hand

What's your name an' how do you do?



INSTRUMENTAL



Excuse me, what is her name?

I'd like to know

Excuse me, it's going to rain

She'll have to go.



Lady with the book in your hand

Lady with the book in your hand

Lady with the book in your hand

Lady with the book in your hand.
