Lovely Ladies (Live)

[Sailor one]
I smell women
Smell 'em in the air
Think i'll drop my anchor
In that harbor over there.

[sailor two]
Lovely ladies
Smell 'em through the smoke
Seven days at sea
Can make you hungry for a poke.

[sailor three]
Even stokers need a little stoke!

[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.

[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!

Lovely ladies
Take 'em as they come
Harbor 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!
