Lovely Ladies
Sailor 1
I smell women
Smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor
In that harbor over there
Sailor 2
Lovely ladies
Smell 'em through the smoke
Seven days at sea
Can make you hungry for a poke
Sailor 3
Even stokers need a little stoke!
Whores
Lovely ladies
Waiting for a bite
Waiting for the customer
Who only comes at night
Lovely ladies
Waiting 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!
Whores
Old men, young men, take 'em as they come
Harbor rats and alley cats and every type 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 motney 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 shame that's in your head
Don't they know they're making love
To one already dead!
