The Lady Is Indisposed (From "The Ziegfeld Follies of 1956")

Is it true? Is it really my lover there?

Or only a boy in disguise?

Well, whoever it is, we can't have him in

With these bags under my eyes

I'm very sure his tender kiss

Would cool my fevered brow

But I wouldn't let Dracula see me like this

Au revoir, mon petit, for now

Too much this, too much that

'Til I don't know where I'm at

Tell the gentleman that the lady is indisposed

Loved the food, loved the wine

Thought his friends were just divine

But I'm sorry to say the lady is indisposed

Please be sure to tell him he's a dear

If he takes those roses, madame will shed a tear

But tonight, not tonight

No, I simply look a fright

And the drawing room is temporarily closed

Tell the gentleman that the lady is indisposed

Please be sure to tell him he's a dear

If he takes those roses, madame will shed a tear

But tonight, not tonight

Oh, I simply look a fright

And the drawing room is temporarily closed

Tell the gentleman that the lady is indisposed
