Strawbs - All The Little Ladies lyrics

rate me

looking through their windows<br />

Peering through lace curtains<br />

All the little ladies<br />

With grey haired hat-pinned heads<br />

Watching people they know who don't understand<br />

That they're living their lonely lives second hand<br />

Even second hand's better than none.<br />

<br />

Spreading all the gossip<br />

Baking cakes for tea time<br />

All the little ladies<br />

With lonely single beds<br />

Watching children they know as they jump and play<br />

Trying giving them sweets but they run away<br />

Even naughty boy's better than none.<br />

<br />

Sunday lunch is coming<br />

In a van of kindness<br />

All the little ladies<br />

With no friends but the dead<br />

Watching doctor they know as he takes their pulse<br />

Trying giving a smile for there's nothing else<br />

Even this sad life's better than none.
