Les Misérables Lovely ladies Lyrics

SAILOR ONE
I smell women, smell them in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there

SAILOR TWO
Lovely ladies, smell them through the smoke
Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke

SAILOR THREE
Even stokers need a little stoke

w____S
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

w____S
Lovely ladies, waiting in the dark
Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park

w____ ONE
Long time, short time, any time, my dear
Cost a little extra if you want to take all year

w____S
Quick and cheap is underneath the pier

CRONE
What pretty hair, what pretty locks you've got there
What luck you've 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 THREE
Lovely lady, fastest on the street
Wasn't there three minutes
She was back up on her feet

SAILOR ONE
Lovely lady, what you're waiting for?
Doesn't take a lot of savvy just to be a w____

w____S & SAILOR ONE
Come on, lady, what's a lady for?

PIMP
Give me the dirt, who's that bit over there?

w____ TWO
A bit of skirt, she's the one sold her hair

w____ THREE
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____ TWO
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____ THREE
Make money in your sleep

w____ TWO
That's right, dearie, let him have the lot

w____ FOUR
That's right, dearie, show him what you've got

w____S
Old men, young men, take them 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?
