In Cab Calloway's Eadie Was A Lady, two parts read:
...
But Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)
Though her past was shady (Though her past was shady)
Eadie had class, with a capital K
...
For Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)
Ask P. I. O'Grady
Eadie had class, with a capital K
What does the K stand for?
I'd appreciate it if you'd explain the above.

What does the K stand for?

Thanks a lot.
 
It's meant to be amusing. K stands for 'Klass'.

Hello,


I have read that before the printing press was invented, people in England spelled words in different ways.

So today, for fun, people sometimes spell words in a different way:

"He is a kool kat." That is, "He is a cool cat."

Well, have a nice day, Koolfool!
