Little old lady passing by, catching ev'ryone’s eye
You have such a charming manner, sweet and shy
Little old bonnet set in place and a smile on your face
You’re a perfect picture in your lavender and lace

Little smile of welcome here, little ray of sunshine there
Ev'ryone is glad to meet you walking 'round the square
Little old lady, time for tea, here’s a kiss, two or three
You’re just like that little old lady I hold dear to me

Back in 1880 when our grandpapa first kissed you
Every young man's heart you stole away
Ev'rybody loved you then for no one could resist you
And you have that same sweet charm today

Those gentle far off times are passed
Life today is much too fast
But that charm will always last
Although you're old and grey

Little old lady passing by, catching ev'ryone’s eye
You have such a charming manner, sweet and shy
Little old bonnet set in place and a smile on your face
You’re a perfect picture in your lavender and lace

Little smile of welcome here-ere-ere-ere
Little ray of sunshine there-ere-ere-ere
Everyone is glad to meet you walking 'round the square
Ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
You’re just like that little old lady...
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh...
