The Boys From Syracuse movie - The ladies of the evening lyrics

<br>

LADIES: <br>

<br>

Poor little daughters of the moon<br>

When the sun is dawning<br>

What is as sour as a day in June<br>

For the ladies of the evening<br>

In the morning?<br>

Lost is the music of the night<br>

For the daily clamor.<br>

Noses are red and cheeks are white.<br>

Where the hell's our glamour?<br>

Where the hell's our glamour!<br>

<br>

POLICE: <br>

<br>

We let the burglars take their snatch<br>

To the shop for pawning.<br>

All that we ever aim to catch<br>

Is the ladies of the evening in the morning.<br>

All night they bring rich men to grief<br>

Till they have no cash left.<br>

Cops can't afford the good roast beef<br>

But we have the hash left.<br>

<br>

ALL: <br>

<br>

A plum becomes a prune.<br>

A joke becomes a pun,<br>

And daughters of the moon<br>

Must stray beneath the sun.<br>

Let them earn an honest drachma<br>

While the moral girls are yawning.<br>

A policeman's lost<br>

Is ladies of the evening<br>

In the morning.<br>

So start the day<br>

The Police Department way<br>

With the ladies of the evening<br>

In the morning.<br>

<br>
