Hmmm. There seem to be several versions out there. You can hear this one at YouTube.


HENRY'S MADE A LADY OUT OF LIZZIE
Words and music by Walter O'Keefe, ©1928.
As sung by Irving Kaufman on Conqueror 7029-A.

Have you seen her? Ain't she great?
She's something you'll appreciate.
I'm sure you understand just what I mean.
Ev'rybody ev'rywhere is falling for her now.
I'm talking 'bout the new Ford, and boy, it sure is a wow!

Lay off, people; lay off, folks.
None of your sarcastic jokes.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
No more bruises, no more aches.
Now she's got those four-wheel brakes.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
She's even got a rumble seat, and lots of style and class,
And the horn just seems to holler out, [honk, honk] "They shall not pass."
The Lincoln car is made of tin.
They're sisters underneath the skin.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.

Now she's even learned to stop
For ev'ry single traffic cop.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
Not a rattle, not a bit;
Lizzie now has lots of it.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
There's ev'rything inside her now except the kitchen sink:
A mirror and a powder puff, and a shower bath, I think.
I'll bet my socks that this miss Ford
We'll live as long as Fanny Ward.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.

C.O.D. and F.O.B.,
All you need is dough-re-mi.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
Since he lifted up her face,
She travels at an awful pace.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
She's not like Calvin Coolidge; she's a girl who likes her fun.
She says, "Imagine anyone who doesn't choose to run!"
You should get delivery
By nineteen-hundred-thirty-three.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.

Her dashboard has a clock that's made a hit with all the Scotch.
A Scotchman saw the clock and so he promptly stopped his watch.
You've all heard the Frenchmen song:
Fifty million can't be wrong.
    Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie.
