Men made out of monkeys
|
Men made into mice
|
Happy days are here again
|
And all the drinks half price
|
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling
|
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
|
TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING out of anything at all
|
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
|
In that charm school
|
|
You and I as lovers
|
Were nothing but a farce
|
TRYING TO MAKE A SILK PURSE
|
OUT OF A SOW'S ARSE
|
Saying 'Why don't you watch me'
|
Hardly speaking SOTTO VOCE
|
|
I've got a notion
|
I've got an angle
|
Take your dreams and promises
|
And put them through the mangle
|
They say it's hell to finance too
|
And I just want to romance you
|
|
In this perpetual nightclub
|
I'll be yours eternal
|
Though the hours are long
|
And the noise infernal
|
JUST ONE SHAMEFUL ACT OR SOMETIMES TWO
|
WE MAKE BELIEVE WE'RE MAKING DO
|
