Madalena Alberto - Lovely Ladies lyrics

[SAILOR #1] I smell women, smell 'em in the air Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there [SAILOR #2] Lovely ladies, smell 'em through the smoke Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke [SAILOR #3] Even stokers need a little stoke! [WOMEN] Lovely ladies, waiting for a bite Waiting for the customers who only come at night Lovely ladies, waiting for the call Standing up or lying down or any way at all Bargain prices up against the wall [OLD WOMAN (approaching Fantine)] Come here, my dear, let's see this trinket you wear This bagatelle [FANTINE] Madame, I'll sell it to you [OLD WOMAN] I'll give you four [FANTINE] That wouldn't pay for the chain [OLD WOMAN] I'll give you five. You're far too eager to sell It's up to you... [FANTINE] It's all I have [OLD WOMAN] That's not my fault [FANTINE] Please make it ten [OLD WOMAN] No more than five My dear, we all must stay alive [WOMEN] Lovely ladies, waiting in the dark Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park [who*e #1] Long time, short time, any time, my dear Cost a little extra if you want to take all year! [WOMEN] Quick and cheap is underneath the pier! [CRONE (approaching Fantine)] What pretty hair, what pretty locks you got there What luck you got, it's worth a centime my dear I'll take the lot [FANTINE] Don't touch me! Leave me alone [CRONE] Let's make a price, I'll give you all of ten francs Just think of that [FANTINE] It pays a debt [CRONE] Just think of that [FANTINE] What can I do? It pays a debt Ten francs may save my poor Cosette [SAILORS] [who*eS] Lovely lady Lovely ladies Fastest on the street Lovely little girls Wasn't there three minutes Lovely ladies She was back up on her feet Lovely little ladies Lovely lady Lovely girlies What you waiting for Lovely little girls Doesn't take a lot of savvy We are lovely Just to be a who*e Lovely girls Come on, lady Lovely ladies What's a lady for What's a lady for [PIMP] Give me the dirt, who's that bit over there [who*e #1] A bit of skirt, she's the one sold her hair [who*e #2] She's got a kid, sends her all that she can [PIMP] I might have known, there is always some man Lovely lady, come along and join us Lovely lady [who*e #1] 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— [who*e #2] —Make money in your sleep [who*e #1] That's right, dearie, let him have the lot [who*e #3] That's right, dearie, show him what you've got [WOMEN] 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 [FANTINE] 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?
