Lyrics

Mike Waterson et al sing Shady Lady

Shady lady, now’s the time to get yourself some sun.
Shady lady, get yourself some sunshine while you can.

Chorus (after each verse):
Take a chance on love, the weather’s fine;
Don’t stay in the shadow all the time.
The sun is shining, the sun shines.

Shady lady, now’s the time to get yourself a tan.
Shady lady, get yourself some sunshine while you can.
