Charm School |
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 down falling |
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 ares |
Saying 'Why don’t you watch me' |
Hardly speaking sotto voce |
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 are making do |
Didn’t they teach you anything except how to be cruel |
In that charm school |
