About

To save Victoria (Julie Andrews) from being exposed as a real woman rather than a man impersonating a woman, Toddy (Robert Preston) takes the stage as “Victor” in full makeup and dress.

Finale/Shady Dame from Seville (Reprise) Lyrics

[TODDY]
La la la...
You were expecting Dolores del Rio?
La la la...

There was once a shady dame from Seville
Used to wander 'round the town dressed to kill
And men, if they dared, stood and stared
When she passed their way
The lady knocked 'em out
But there's no doubt
'Cause they'd shout, "Olé" all day

Seville isn't that much to shout about
But when she was out traffic stood still
Dressed like a vamp or a Pamplona tramp
She would stampede the men folk at will

One day came a world famous matador
Rat-tat at her door, bearing a rose
If he distressed her, disturbing her siesta
It's best to say nobody knows

The rest of the tale's not a pretty one
Pity one isn't for sale
Only two ears and a tail
Did they find by the blind on her sill

No one knows what's became
Of the shady dame
La la la...oh, god!
The shady dame
Oh, thank you very much
From Seville
Olé!
