Her name was Lady Godiva
A lady so brave and so strong
Her husband the Earl of Mercia
He treated her terribly wrongShe's a lady
She's a lady
She rode naked on horseback
To stop him from his tax increaseBut people in town closed their curtains
Than prison for living in peace[Chorus]
She's a lady
She's a lady
She's a lady, Lady Godiva
The hero of Coventry
L-L-Lady Lady Godiva
She rode into historyThen sneaking a glance through the window
Was a guy they called Peeping Tom
He caught a glimpse and was blinded
Curiosity sometimes is wrong[Chorus]People liked Lady Godiva
Respectfully looking away
They honored incredible courage
Her legend lives until today[Chorus: x 2]
