Ladies Of The Evening Lyrics by Patrick Quinn

The Boys from Syracuse (1997 Original New York Recording)

0

[WOMEN]
Poor little daughters of the moon
When the sun is dawning
What is as sour as a day in June
For the ladies of the evening in the morning
Lost is the music of the night
For the daily clamor
Noses are red and cheeks are white
[WOMAN]
Where the hell's our glamour?
[WOMEN]
Where the hell's our glamour?
[SERGEANT]
We let the burglars take their snatch
To the shop for pawning
All that we ever aim to catch
Is the ladies of the evening in thе morning
All night they bring rich men to grief
'Til thеy have no cash left
Cops can't afford the good roast beef
But we have the hash left
[WOMEN]
A plum becomes a prune
A joke becomes a pun
And daughters of the moon
Must fade beneath the sun
[MEN]
Let them earn an honest drachma
While the moral girls are yawning
A policeman's lot is ladies of the evening in the morning
[ENSEMBLE]
So start the day the police department way
With the ladies of the evening in the morning
