Jean-Marc Natel Lovely Ladies Lyrics

SAILOR 1
I smell women
Smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor
In that harbour 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 stroke!

WOMEN
Lovely ladies
Waiting for a bite
Waiting for the customers
Who only come at night.
Lovely ladies
Ready for the call
Standing up or lying down
Or any way at all.
Bargain prices up against the wall.

OLD WOMAN
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.

w____ 1
Long time, short time
Anytime, my dear.
Cost a little extra if you want to take all year.

ALL
Quick and cheap is underneath the pier!

CRONE
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!

SAILOR 3
Lovely lady!
Fastest on the street.
Wasn't there three minutes
She was back up on her feet.

SAILOR 1
Lovely lady!
What yer waiting for?
Doesn't take a lot of savvy
Just to be a w____.
Come on lady,
What's a lady for?

PIMP
Gimme the dirt
Who's that bit over there?

w____ 1
A bit of skirt
She's the one sold her hair.

w____ 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!

w____ 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.

w____ 2
Make money in your sleep!

w____ 1
That's right, dearie
Let 'im have the lot.

w____ 3
That's right, dearie
Show him what you've got!

WOMEN
Old men, young me, take 'em as they come,
Harbour rats and alley cats and every kind 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!
