Lyrics

Ladies of leisure,

with their eyes on the back roads.

All looking for strangers,

to whom they extend welcomes

With a smile and a glimpse of

pink knees and elbows;

Of satin and velvet

good ladies, good fortune.

Ladies.

They sing of their heroes:

of solitary soldiers

Invested in good health

and manner most charming.

Whose favors are numbered

(none the less well intended)

By hours in a minute;

by those ladies who bless them.

Ladies.
