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.
