|
Men made out of monkeys |
|
Men made into mice |
|
Happy days are here again |
|
And all the drinks half price |
|
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling |
|
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling |
|
Trying to make a living out of anything at all |
|
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel |
|
In that charm school |
|
You and I as lovers were nothing but a farce |
|
Trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's arse |
|
Saying, |
|
"Why don't you watch me?" |
|
Hardly speaking sotto voce |
|
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling |
|
Trying to make a living out of anything at all |
|
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel |
|
In that charm school |
|
I've got a notion |
|
I've got an angle |
|
Take your dreams and promises |
|
And put them through the mangle |
|
They say it's hell to finance too |
|
And I just want to romance you |
|
In this perpetual nightclub |
|
I'll be yours eternal |
|
Though the hours are long |
|
And the noise infernal |
|
Just one shameful act or sometimes two |
|
We make believe we're making do |
|
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling |
|
Trying to make a living out of anything at all |
|
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel |
|
In that charm school |
|
In that charm school |
