Dames Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of 42nd Street

42nd Street - Original Broadway Cast Recording

0

[BILLY]
Who writes the words and music
For all the girly shows?
No one cares, and no one knows
Who is the handsome hero
Some villain always frames?
But who cares if there's a plot or not
When they've got a lot of dames!
[BILLY & ENSEMBLE]
What do you go for
Go see a show for?
Tell the truth
You go to see those beautiful dames
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning
Young and beautiful dames
Dames are temporary flames to you
Dames, you don't recall their names
Do you?
But their caresses
And home addresses
Linger in your mem'ry of those beautiful
In your mem'ry see those beautiful
In your mem'ry all those beautiful
What do you go for
Go see a show for?
Tell the truth
You go to see those beautiful dames
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning
Young and beautiful dames
Dames are temporary flames to you
Dames, you don't recall their names
Do you?
What do you go for
Go see a show for?
Tell the truth
You go to see those beautiful dames
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning
Young and beautiful dames
Those gorgeous dames
Are temporary flames to you
Dames, you don't recall their names
Do you?
[GIRLS]
Slim, trim and all curvy
Sweet, shy and nervy
There is nothin' as refined as beautiful-
No sun can shine as beautiful
[ALL]
Bring on a line of beautiful
Dames, dames, dames, dames
Dames, dames, dames, dames-
Dames!
