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)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
