Lyrics
I smell women, smell 'em in the air Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there Lovely ladies, smell 'em through the smoke Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke Even stokers need a little stoke Lovely ladies waiting for a fight Waiting for the customers who only come at night Lovely ladies ready for the fall Standing up, or lying down, or any way at all Bargain prices up against the wall Come here, my dear Let's see this trinket you wear This bagatelle Madame, I'll sell it to you I'll give you four That wouldn't pay for the chain I'll give you five You're far too eager to sell It's up to you It's all I have That's not my fault Please make it ten No more than five My dear, we all must stay alive Lovely ladies waiting in the dark Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park Long time, short time, any time my dear Cost a little extra if ya wanna take all year Quick and cheap is underneath the pier What pretty hair What pretty locks you got there What luck you've got It's worth a centime, my dear I'll take the lot! Don't touch me, leave me alone! Let's make a price I'll give you all of ten francs Just think of that It pays a debt Just think of that What can I do? It pays a debt Ten francs may save my poor Cosette Lovely lady, fastest on the street Wasn't in a minute she was back up on her feet Lovely ladies, what ya waiting for Doesn't take a lot of savvy just to be a whore Come on lady, what's a lady for? Give me the dirt, who's the bit over there? A bit of skirt, she's the one sold her hair She's got a kid, sends her all that she can I might have known There is always some man Lovely lady, come along and join us Lovely lady Come on, dearie, why all the fuss? You're no grander than the rest of us Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap Join your sisters, make money in your sleep That's right, dearie, let 'em have the lot That's right, dearie Show 'em what you've got Old men, young men, take 'em as they come Harbor rats, and alley cats, and every type of scum Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land See them with their trousers off, they're never quite as grand All it takes is money in your hand! Lovely ladies, going for a song Got a lot of callers but they never stay for long Come on Captain, you can wear your shoes Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse? Easy money, lying on a bed Just as well they never see the hate that's in your head Don't they know they're making love to one already dead!
