Les Miserables movie - Lovely Ladies lyrics

rate me

Song by Ladies & Clients<br />

[The docks. Sailors, whores and their customers, pimps, etc. Fantine wanders in]

[SAILOR ONE]

I smell women

Smell 'em in the air

Think I'll drop my anchor

In that harbor over there

[SAILOR TWO]

Lovely ladies

I'll love you till I'm broke

Seven months at sea

And now I'm hungry for a poke

[SAILOR THREE]

Even stokers need a little stoke!

[WOMEN]

Lovely ladies

Waiting for a bite

Waiting for the customers

Who only come at night

Lovely ladies

Ready for the call

Standing up or lying down

Or any way at all

Bargain prices up against the wall

[OLD WOMAN]

What pretty hair,

What pretty locks you've got there,

What look you've got,

It's worth a centime my dear

I'll take the lot

[FANTINE]

Don't touch me,

Leave me alone!

[OLD WOMAN]

Let's make a price

I'll give you all of ten francs

Just think of that

[FANTINE]

It pays a debt

[OLD WOMAN]

Just think of that

[FANTINE]

What can I do,

It pays a debt

Ten francs may save my poor Cosette,

[WOMEN]

Lovely ladies

Waiting in the dark

Ready for a thick one

Or a quick one in the park

Whore 1

Long time short time

Any time, my dear

Cost a little extra if you want to take all year!

[ALL]

Quick and cheap is underneath the pier!

[MAN]

Come over here,

It's twenty francs for a tooth

[LADY]

Come here my dear,

I'll pay you well for your youth

[MAN]

The pain won't last,

You'll still be able to bite

I do it fast,

I know my business alright

It's worth a go

[FANTINE]

You'll pay me first

What I am due

[MAN]

You'll get twice if I take two

[PIMP]

Give me the dirt, who's that bit over there?

[WHORE ONE]

A bit of skirt. She's the one sold her hair.

[WHORE TWO]

She's got a kid. Sends her all that she can

[PIMP]

I might have known

There is always some man

Lovely lady, come along and join us!

Lovely lady!

[WHORE ONE]

Come on dearie, why all the fuss?

You're no grander than the rest of us

Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap

Join your sisters

[WHORE TWO]

Make money in your sleep!

[Fantine goes off with one of the sailors]

[WHORE ONE]

That's right dearie, show him what you've got!

[WHORE THREE]

That's right dearie, let him have the lot!

[WOMEN]

Old men, young men, take 'em as they come

Harbor rats and alley cats and every kind 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 money 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 hate that's in your head

Don't they know they're making love

To one already dead!
