"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".
[2] 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 ..."[5] 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.
In 2004, The Four Lads performed it with Ed Ames on the PBS made for TV special, Magic Moments: The Best of 50s Pop.
