Don't Ask the Lady What the Lady Did Before sing and play along
I'm no lady,
but now and then
I've got somethin' that makes you yen.
I'm no lady from way back when,
but pinch those panatellas, fellas, while I preach again.
Don't ask a lady what the lady did before.
Ask what the lady's doin' now.
Don't poke around inside the lady's bureau drawer.
What's here to thrill ya
ain't mem'rabilia.
Why drag the laundry out when you're about to score?
My henna lasts a month and not a moment more.
Don't ask a lady what the lady did before.
Ask what the lady's doin' speak up and you're a shooin' ask what the lady's doin' now.
Don't diddle with chitchat
don't fiddle with smalltalk.
What good is the fancy footwork if it's all talk?
The trouble with guys is once the ice is thawed they wanna know if the lady's been abroad!
ask what the lady's doin' (Now) don't ask how well she's doin' what other swell she's doin' ask what the hell she's doin' now.
