Naughty Lady of Shady Lane

About Naughty Lady of Shady Lane

"The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane" is a popular song written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett. The lyrics suggest that this "naughty lady" driving the whole town crazy is an attractive young woman who "throws those come-hither glances at every Tom, Dick and Joe" and "when offered some liquid refreshment never says no"; but the last line reveals her to be an infant "nine days old". Popular versions of the song were the 1954 recordings by The Ames Brothers and by Archie Bleyer. The recording by The Ames Brothers was made on September 8, 1954. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5897. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on November 20, 1954. On the Disk Jockey chart, it peaked at number 3; on the Best Seller chart, at number 3; on the Juke Box chart, at number 3. This version sold over one million copies in the US, and also peaked at number 6 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1955. The Bleyer version was released by Cadence Records as catalog number 1254. The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on November 24, 1954 and lasted 5 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 26. A contemporary review in Billboard compared the two versions by saying: "The Bleyer record has the sound; the Ames disk has the smoothness. Both have style ..."Dean Martin, Alma Cogan and the McGuire Sisters covered the song in 1955, as well as Ray Charles in 1964 and the Statler Brothers in the 1990s. more »

Billy calls me every night
Says he wants to hold me tight
Johnny calls me every day
Says he'll never go away

But it's you, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms
How I wish that you were here with me
How I wish that you were here with me

Every time that I say goodbye
All I ever do is cry
Every time you go away
Everything in life is gray

'Cause it's you, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms
How I wish that you were here with me
How I wish that you were here with me

You don't know 'cause
You've never felt the same way that I do
Every time that I hold somebody I'll only think of you
What can I do to make you love me, love me?

I would rather be alone
Maybe you'll decide to phone
Every time you go away
Everything in life is gray

'Cause it's you, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms
How I wish that you were here with me
How I wish that you were here with me

I wish you were here with me
I don't want Billy, just you
Here with me
Why aren't you here with me?
