Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How much for this?
That's my daughters
I'll give you four francs for that
It's worth ten
[Verse 2]
I smell women, smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop me anchor in that harbor over there
Lovely lady, I'll love you till I'm broke
Seven months at sea and now I'm hungry for a poke
Even stokers need a little stoke
[Verse 3]
Lovely ladies waiting for a bite
Waiting for the customers who only come at night
Lovely ladies ready for the cold
Standing up or laying down or any way at all
Bargain prices, up against the wall
[Verse 4]
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
Don't touch me, leave me alone
Let's make a price
I'll give you all of ten francs
Just think of that
It pays the debt
Just think of that
What can I do?
It pays the debt
Ten francs may save my poor Cosette
[Verse 5]
Lovely ladies waiting in the dark
Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park
Long time, short time, any time, my dear
Costs a little extra if you wanna take all year
Quick and cheap is underneath the pier
[Verse 6]
Come over here
It's twenty francs for a tooth
Come here, my dear
I'll pay you well for your youth
The pain won't last
You'll still be able to bite
Just the back ones
I do it fast
I know my business alright
It's worth a go
You'll pay me first what I am due
You'll get twice if I take two
[Verse 7]
Give me the dirt, who's that bit over there
A bit of skirt
She's the one sold her hair
She's got a kid, sends her all that she can
I might've known there is always a man
[Verse 8]
Lovely lady, come along and join us
Lovely lady
[Verse 9]
Come on dearie, why all the fuss?
You're not grander than the rest of us
Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap
Join your sisters, make money in your sleep
That's right dearie, show him what you got
That's right dearie, let him have the lot
[Verse 10]
Old men, young men, take 'em as they come
Harbor rats and alley cats and every kind of scum
Poor man, rich man, leaders of the land
See them with their trousers off, they're never quite as grand
All it takes is money in your hand
[Verse 11]
Lovely ladies going for a song
Got a lot of callers but they never stay for long
[Verse 12]
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 the 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
