COMPANY movie - Ladies Who Lunch lyrics
rate meSong by Elaine Stritch<br /><br>
JOANNE:<br>
Here's to the ladies who lunch--<br>
Everybody laugh.<br>
Lounging in their caftans <br>
And planning a brunch<br>
On their own behalf.<br>
Off to the gym,<br>
Then to a fitting,<br>
Claiming they're fat.<br>
And looking grim,<br>
'Cause they've been sitting<br>
Choosing a hat.<br>
Does anyone still wear a hat?<br>
I'll drink to that.<br>
<br>
And here's to the girls who play smart--<br>
Aren't they a gas?<br>
Rushing to their classes<br>
In optical art,<br>
Wishing it would pass.<br>
Another long exhausting day,<br>
Another thousand dollars,<br>
A matinee, a Pinter play,<br>
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's.<br>
I'll drink to that.<br>
And one for Mahler!<br>
<br>
And here's to the girls who play wife--<br>
Aren't they too much?<br>
Keeping house but clutching<br>
A copy of LIFE,<br>
Just to keep in touch.<br>
The ones who follow the rules,<br>
And meet themselves at the schools,<br>
Too busy to know that they're fools.<br>
Aren't they a gem?<br>
I'll drink to them!<br>
Let's all drink to them!<br>
<br>
And here's to the girls who just watch--<br>
Aren't they the best?<br>
When they get depressed,<br>
It's a bottle of Scotch,<br>
Plus a little jest.<br>
Another chance to disapprove,<br>
Another brilliant zinger,<br>
Another reason not to move,<br>
Another vodka stinger.<br>
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!<br>
I'll drink to that.<br>
<br>
So here's to the girls on the go--<br>
Everybody tries.<br>
Look into their eyes,<br>
And you'll see what they know:<br>
Everybody dies.<br>
A toast to that invincible bunch,<br>
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.<br>
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch--<br>
Everybody rise!<br>
Rise!<br>
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!<br>
Rise!<br>
<br>
