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 wayAnd I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady DayAfter 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 hallAnd I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
Oh, Lady Day
