Lovely Ladies

[00:03.47] I smell women, smell 'em in the air
[00:06.46] Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there
[00:09.68] Lovely ladies, smell 'em through the smoke
[00:12.76] Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke
[00:15.92] Even stokers need a little stoke!
[00:19.21] Lovely ladies, waiting for a bite
[00:22.35] Waiting for the customers who only come at night
[00:25.44] Lovely ladies, ready for the call
[00:28.38] Standing up or lying down or any way at all
[00:31.55] Bargain prices up against the wall
[00:35.99] Come here, my dear, let's see this trinket you wear
[00:42.52] This bagatelle
[00:44.88] Madame, I'll sell it to you
[00:48.13] I'll give you four, that wouldn't pay for the chain
[00:53.88] I'll give you five, you're far too eager to sell
[00:58.85] It's up to you (it's all I have)
[01:00.83] That's not my fault (please make it ten)
[01:02.97] No more than five my dear, we all must stay alive
[01:10.38] Lovely ladies, waiting in the dark
[01:13.45] Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park
[01:16.46] Long time, short time, any time, my dear
[01:19.36] Cost a little extra if you want to take all year!
[01:22.35] Quick and cheap is underneath the pier!
[01:26.46] What pretty hair, what pretty locks you've got there
[01:32.62] What luck you got, it's worth a centime my dear
[01:38.99] I'll take the lot
[01:40.63] Don't touch me, leave me alone
[01:44.65] Let's make a price, I'll give you all of ten francs
[01:50.74] Just think of that (it pays a debt)
[01:53.88] Just think of that (what can I do? It pays a debt)
[01:58.43] (Ten francs may save my poor Cosette)
[02:05.32] (Lovely ladies) Fastest on the street
[02:07.94] (Lovely lady) Wasn't there three minutes she was back up on her feet
[02:11.31] (Lovely little ladies) What you waiting for? (Lovely little girls)
[02:14.49] Doesn't take a lot of savvy (we are lovely, lovely) just to be a whore
[02:17.47] Lovely ladies what's a lady for?
[02:23.73] Give me the dirt, who's that bit over there
[02:26.83] A bit of skirt, she's the one sold her hair
[02:29.82] She's got a kid, sends her all that she can
[02:32.71] I might have known, there is always some man
[02:35.59] Lovely lady, come along and join us
[02:38.51] Lovely lady
[02:41.43] Come on dearie, why all the fuss?
[02:44.57] You're no grander than the rest of us
[02:48.15] Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap
[02:51.62] Join your sisters, make money in your sleep
[02:56.52] That's right, dearie, let him have the lot
[03:01.48] That's right, dearie, show him what you've got
[03:08.49] Old men, young men, take 'em as they come
[03:11.40] Harbor rats and alley cats and every kind of scum
[03:14.53] Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land
[03:17.66] See them with their trousers off, they're never quite as grand
[03:20.66] All it takes is money in your hand
[03:25.39] Lovely ladies, going for a song
[03:30.52] Got a lot of callers, but they never stay for long
[03:36.58] Come on, Captain, you can wear your shoes
[03:41.18] Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse?
[03:45.96] Easy money, lying on a bed
[03:50.33] Just as well they never see the hate that's in your head
[03:54.73] Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?
[04:05.15]
