Cab Calloway - The Lady with the Fan 1933

The Lady with the Fan 1933

Transcribed from Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, recorded November 2, 1933

She's the lady with the fan,
When she comes by, hold your man,
She made Smoky Joe so ginny
He forgot about his Minnie.
She's the lady with the fan!

She's the lady with the fan,
Can she dance? Yeah, man!
Every wiggle gets a giggle
From the hick who pays a nickel.
To see the lady with the fan!

She's the lady with the fan,
She's the lady with the fan,
She's such a grand attraction,
She put lazy-bones in action,
She's the lady with the fan!

She's the lady with the fan,
She's the lady with the fan,
In fair or stormy weather,
She shakes them both together,
She's the lady with the fan!

Back in the day, rappers had CLASS while rubbing against half-naked women in music videos.

@BInRt I dont see how you can equate Cab Calloway to a rapper. Scat singing and rappering is not the same genre.

cab calloway isnt rap, why are people comparing his music to rap, they are completely different genres! learn your music !

[Kiiiayaaa]

This is just great stuff.

I'm guessing that all these rap haters are white folk.

How could someone not love this? Ahhh I was born in the wrong decade.

[mervyndacre]

anyone interested if you check out 'Jiveformation Please' (1939) Cab does actually do something recognisably like rap in the middle
