| Lyrics: | When she walked on down the street
She was like a child staring at her feet
But when she
passed the bar
And she heard the music play
She had to go in and sing
It had to be that
way
She had to go in and sing
It had to be that way
And I said no, no, no
Oh,
Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady Day
After the applause had died
down
And the people drifted away
She climbed down the bar
And went out the door
To
the hotel
That she called home
It had greenish walls
A bathroom in the hall
And
I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady Day |
