pretty women / the ladies who lunch

pretty women

fascinating

sippin coffee

dancing

pretty women

pretty women

are a wonder

pretty women

sitting in the window or

standing on the stair

something in them cheers the air

pretty women

silhouetted

stay within you

glancing stay forever

breathing lightly

pretty women

pretty women

blowing out their candles or

combing out their hair

even when they leave

they still are there

they're there

sipping coffee

here's to the ladies who lunch

everybody laugh

lounging in their caftans and

planning a brunch

on their own behalf

off to the gym

then to a fitting

claiming they're fat

and looking grim

cause they've been sitting

choosing a hat

i'll drink to that!

here's to the girls who just watch

aren't they the best

when they get depressed

it's a bottle of scotch

plus a little jest!

another chance to disapprove

another brilliant zinger

another reason not to move

another vodka stinger

i'll drink to that!

here's to the girls who play wife

aren't they too much!

keeping house but clutching a copy of life"
