sailor's night on the town

hey there! you better get up now

and clean up your place

can't you see there are ships in the harbour?

put on your best face

and turn on your lights

and spray some perfume in your parlour

but don't lose your head

just keep to your trade

treat him with love

but only after he's paid

for living is dear

and so much shorter each year

so make the most of it while you're still young

it's the sailors' night on the town

girl

by now you should know what to do

it's the sailors' night on the town

girl

can't you hear them calling for you?

so

fill them with lust and sparkling champagne

give them a good time so they will come back again

it's the sailors' night on the town

girl

so make the most of it while you're still young

sailors and miners

or just men about town

they need you like whisky and brandy

and though they may be as proud as the rooster at dawn

in your bed

they're like children with candy

so

don't be afraid

just do what you can

and some day

who knows

you might even find your own man

so

don't let your dreams gather dust from today

just make the most of it while you're still young

it's the sailors' night on the town

girl

by now you should know what to do

it's the sailors' night on the town

girl

can't you hear them calling for you?

so

fill them with lust and sparkling champagne

give them a good time so they will come back again

it's the sailors' night on the town

girl

so make the most of it while you're still young
