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, disturbin' the suburban routine

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!

You should see how she carries on with her admirants 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."

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!

The things they're trying to pin on her won't hold much water, I'm sure.
Beneath the powder and fancy lace, there beats a heart sweet and pure.
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

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
