[From "Sweeney Todd" And "Company"]

Pretty women
|
Fascinating
|
Sippin coffee
|
Dancing, pretty women
|
Pretty women
|
Are a wonder, pretty women
|
Sitting in the window or
|
Standing on the stair
|
Something in them cheers the air
|
Pretty women
|
Silhouetted
|
Stay within you
|
Glancing stay forever
|
Breathing lightly, pretty women,
|
Pretty women
|
Blowing out their candles or
|
Combing out their hair
|
Even when they leave
|
They still are there
|
They're there
|
Sipping coffee
|
Here's to the ladies who lunch
|
Everybody Laugh
|
Lounging in their caftans and
|
Planning a brunch
|
On their own behalf
|
Off to the gym
|
Then to a fitting,
|
Claiming they're fat
|
And looking grim,
|
Cause they've been sitting
|
Choosing a hat
|
I'll drink to that!
|
|
Here's to the girls who just watch
|
Aren't they the best
|
When they get depressed,
|
It's a bottle of scotch
|
Plus a little jest!
|
Another chance to disapprove
|
Another brilliant zinger
|
Another reason not to move
|
Another vodka stinger
|
I'll drink to that!
|
|
Here's to the girls who play wife
|
Aren't they too much!
|
Keeping house but clutching a copy of "Life"
|
Just to keep in touch
|
The ones who follow the rules
|
And meet themselves at the schools
|
Too busy to know that they're fools
|
Aren't they a gem!
|
I'll drink to them!
|
Let's all drink to...
|
|
Pretty women, fascinating
|
How they make a man sing...
|
|
**Here's to the girls on the go,
|
Everybody tries
|
Look into their eyes
|
And you'll see what they know,
|
Everybody dies
|
A toast to that invincible bunch
|
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch
|
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch
|
Everybody rise
|
Everybody rise,
|
|
Pretty women at their mirrors
|
In their gardens
|
On committees, telephoning
|
Window shopping table hopping
|
Pretty women giving parties
|
Never stopping
|
Gossip swapping, capsule popping
|
|
Everybody rise, everybody rise,
|
Everybody rise, everybody rise-
|
Rise-rise-rise...
|
Pretty women rise!
