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.
