Ladies

Ladies of leisure

Oh, with their eyes on the back roads

All looking for strangers

To whom they extend welcomesWith a smile and a glimpse

Of pink knees and elbows

Of satin and velvet

Good ladies, good fortuneLadies

(Ladies)

Ladies

(Ladies)They sing of their heroes

Of solitary soldiers

Invested in good health

And manner most charmingWhose favors are numbered

None the less, well intended

By hours in a minute

By those ladies who bless themLadies
